Can someone please help me to Retag PERC 5i RAID 5 Array. One of my HDD in a raid 5 failed and during the rebuild another ended up with a foreign config. I cleared the foreign config but now need to retag the raid array (as the disk is showing as ready, not online). I know the exact config of the raid array, ie how many drives and in what order, the array was created (it is 8 drives with the full space used). I have read up on how to retag but just so I don't do anything wrong step by step instructions would be really helpful.

I know I have to delete the current VD array, but from the PERC BIOS I don't know exactly where to do this, i.e do I delete "Disk Group x" or "Virtual Disk x"?

Also when recreating the exact VD array how do I ensure it does not automatically initialize the VD because from memory when I created the array a good few years ago it automatically initialized newly created arrays.

Thanks in advance for helping, Kal
