i've a DL380p with Smart Array P420i. On this server we have some logicaldrives:
root@server:~# hpacucli ctrl all show config
Smart Array P420i in Slot 0 (Embedded) (sn: XXXXXXX)
array A (Solid State SATA, Unused Space: 0 MB)
logicaldrive 1 (119.2 GB, RAID 0, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:2:1 (port 1I:box 2:bay 1, Solid State SATA, 128.0 GB, OK)
array B (SATA, Unused Space: 0 MB)
logicaldrive 2 (1.8 TB, RAID 1+0, Failed)
physicaldrive 1I:2:2 (port 1I:box 2:bay 2, SATA, 250.0 GB, Failed)

physicaldrive 2I:2:8 (port 2I:box 2:bay 8, Solid State SATA, 1 TB, OK)
SEP (Vendor ID XXXX, Model XXXXX) 380 (WWID: XXXXXXX)
The array B, shout removed from logicaldrives, but when i run this command:
root@server:~# hpacucli ctrl slot=0 ld 2 delete
Warning: Deleting an array can cause other array letters to become renamed.
E.g. Deleting array A from arrays A,B,C will result in two remaining
arrays A,B ... not B,C
Warning: Deleting the specified device(s) will result in data being lost.
Continue? (y/n) n
Before i want to delete this logicaldrives i want to ask if i delete this ld, the letter will be renamed or not? Because i want to recreate this array B with the same letter. So i can reboot this system to do this steps, but i want to do this steps without downtime. Can anybody help?
Best
