InitializeAll is a global keyword that you need to specify only once.
InitializeAll is always performed prior to array creation regardless of its
position in the script.
If both
InitializeAll=Yes and InitializeAll=No are specified in the same script
file,
InitializeAll=Yes is always the overriding value.
If an array is deleted during a Build/Verify process, the process is
automatically terminated.
Method Keyword
Method is an optional keyword, indicating which method to use when
creating a redundant (RAID 1, 5, and 10) array. Possible values:
● Build (the default)—Perform a Build/Verify process on the array.
Takes longer than
Clear (see below), but allows you to begin using
the array immediately.
● Clear—Clear the array. Faster than a Build/Verify process, but you
have to wait for the operation to be completed before you can begin
using the array.
● Quick Init—Makes the array available immediately, but does not
accomplish a Build/Verify. Parity and mirror information is created
as data is written to the disk drive (called full-stripe write mode),
which reduces overall array performance. Maximum performance is
achieved by starting and completing a Build/Verify.
For example:
Method=Build
ReadCache Keyword
ReadCache indicates whether the array uses read caching.
Possible values:
● Yes (default)—Enable read caching.
● No—Disable read caching.
For example:
ReadCache=Yes
