perccli /cx/vx show autobgi
This command shows the background initialization setting for a virtual drive.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v0 show autobgi
perccli /cx/vx show bgi
This command shows the background initialization progress on the specified virtual drive in percentage.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v0 show bgi
perccli /cx/vx stop bgi
