INITIALIZE Command
The INITIALIZE command prepares a magnetic disk for use on the system. This
command deletes any existing files on the volume, deletes the log of spared sectors,
initializes the customer engineer sector and the spare-tracks table, and optionally
labels the disk.
INITIALIZE is a sensitive command.
INITIALIZE DISK Command
The syntax is:
Wild-card characters are supported.
OUT file-spec
directs all SCF output to the specified file.
DISK $disk[-P |-M ]
is the disk name and, optionally, the path (primary or mirror).
LABEL $volume
is the label for the disk being initialized. This attribute is ignored if you specify a
disk path in this command. If you do not use this option, you must create a label
using the ALTER DISK, LABEL command (page 14-59) to give the disk a valid
label.
Caution. The INITIALIZE DISK command deletes all existing files on the volume.
