User`s guide

INITIALIZE
DESTROY (Default)
NODESTROY
This qualifier prevents the user data and forced error metadata from being
destroyed during intialization. This allows the data on the container to be reused
for a disk, stripeset, or mirrorset unit. (The NODESTROY qualifier is ignored for
RAIDsets.) NODESTROY is only used when creating a unit out of devices that
have been reduced from mirrorsets.
Examples
1.
CLI> INITIALIZE DISK0
Initializes container DISK0. If NOTRANSPORTABLE was specified (or
allowed to default), metadata is written on the disk.
2.
CLI> INITIALIZE STRIPE0 CHUNKSIZE=20
Initializes container STRIPE0 and writes metadata on it. The default
chunksize for stripesets is 128 blocks for HSOF V2.5.
3.
CLI> INITIALIZE RAID9 CHUNKSIZE=20
Initializes container RAID9 with a chunksize of 20 and writes metadata on it.
The default chunksize for RAIDsets is 128 blocks for HSOF V2.5.
4.
CLI> INITIALIZE MIRROR1 NODESTROY
Initializes container MIRROR1 and does not write over the forced error
metadata.
