NetWare Release Notes
5. DESTROY_MBR Removes the 8 MB partition from a
presented LUN and destroys the master boot
record (MBR) present on new or
replacement spares, HP-manufactured disk
drives. This switch is used in conjunction
with the INITIALIZE command.
Previously, Microsoft Windows and
Windows NT® host systems, under specific
circumstances, adversely created two
partitions (an 8 MB partition and then the
second partition for the rest of the presented
LUN space) after a new, HP-manufactured
disk was added to a subsystem and
exported to a Microsoft Windows host
system.
Note: The pre-existing partition table, or a
master boot record (MBR) , is a designated
partition for SMART array controllers.
When the HSG container is presented by
the MS OS to the applications, it assigns a
drive letter to each partition.
With ACS V8.8-1, when adding new disks
to a Windows and Windows NT host
systems, you can add disks and then
initialize them with the INIT
device
DESTROY_MBR CLI command. At your
discretion, partitions can be optionally
created at the controller (controller
partitioning) or be created at the OS
through Disk Administrator as host
partitions.
