INITIALIZE Command
The INITIALIZE command prepares a disk for use on the system. This command removes the directory
information, deletes the log of spared sectors, initializes the customer engineer sector and the
spare-tracks table, and optionally labels the disk.
CAUTION: The INITIALIZE command removes directory information so that files are not accessible
to normal software. The file data remains on the disk and could be read by specialized low level
disk access utilities.
INITIALIZE is a sensitive command.
INITIALIZE DISK Command
The syntax is:
INITIALIZE [ / OUT file-spec / ] DISK $disk[-P |-M ]
[ , LABEL $volume ]
[ DISK $disk-P |-M { CLEARENCRYPTKEY | NEWENCRYPTKEY,
KEYALGORITHM {XTS-AES | CBC-AES}, KEYSIZE 256 } ]
Wild-card characters are supported.
OUT file-spec
directs all SCF output to the specified file.
