---- Additional Tasks ---- List Button
This button enables you to configure advanced information, if necessary, in the following categories:
• “Disk Parameters”
• “File System Parameters”
• “Volume Parameters”
• “Group Parameters”
The selection of one of these categories results in a change to name of the button and a dialog
box that enables you to change the parameters associated with the chosen category appears.
NOTE: Dialog box choices differ depending on the file system choices you made on the Basic
tab.
Disk Parameters
Disk Parameters - Follow these steps to further define the tracks per cylinder or revolutions per
minute for each disk on the client using the Disk Parameters selection of the Additional Tasks button.
Additionally, you have the option of initializing each disk.
NOTE: HP recommends that you do not modify Trks/Cyl: or Disk RPM: or enable Media Init: to
be run. Modern disk drives do not gain any benefit from setting tracks per cylinder or the disk
rotations per minute, and they automatically exclude defective sectors from use. If you experience
read/write errors on a disk, consider replacement of the disk. In addition, because modern disk
drives are so large, running Media Init: to initialize the disk literally takes hours and does nothing
useful.
1. Click ----Additional Tasks---- and select Disk Parameters.... A dialog box similar to the one in
Figure 82 appears.
