Virtual drive initialization commands
The PERC Command Line Tool supports the following commands to initialize virtual drives:
perccli /cx/vx show init
perccli /cx/vx start init [full][Force]
perccli /cx/vx stop init
NOTE: If the virtual drive has user data, you must use the force option to initialize the virtual drive. A virtual drive with a
valid MBR and partition table is considered to contain user data.
The detailed description for each command follows.
perccli /cx/vx show init
This command shows the initialization progress of a virtual drive in percentage.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v2 show init
perccli /cx/vx start init [full]
This command starts the initialization of a virtual drive. The default initialization type is fast initialization. If the full option is
specified, full initialization of the virtual drive starts.
Input example:
perccli /cx/vx start init [full]
perccli /cx/vx stop init
This command stops the initialization of a virtual drive. A stopped initialization cannot be resumed.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v0 stop init
Virtual drive erase commands
The PERC Command Line Tool supports the following command to erase virtual drives:
perccli /cx/vx erase [force]
This command erases the data on the virtual drive. You can use the force option as a confirmation to erase the data on the
drive and the security information.
Input example:
perccli /cx/vx show erase
perccli /cx/vx stop erase
perccli /cx/vx start erase [simple|normal|thorough|standard][patternA=<val>]
