This command shows the current progress of the initialization progress in percentage.
Input example:
perccli /c0/e31/s4 show initialization
perccli /cx[/ex]/sx start initialization
This command starts the initialization process on a drive.
Input example:
perccli /c0/e31/s4 start initialization
perccli /cx[/ex]/sx stop initialization
This command stops an initialization process running on the specified drive. A stopped initialization process cannot be resumed.
Input example:
perccli /c0/e56/s1 stop initialization

perccli /cx[/ex]/sx set jbod
perccli /cx[/ex]/sx set good [force]
perccli /cx[/ex]/sx set offline
perccli /cx[/ex]/sx set online
perccli /cx[/ex]/sall set jbod
