SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

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 to give the disk a valid label.
CLEARENCRYPTKEY
clears encryption on an encrypted disk.
This attribute changes the encryption status for a disk (single drive) while that drive is DOWN.
Its mirror may be UP. The disk volume will be online if the mirror is UP. The drive is initialized.
The drive’s volume label is left blank. If data needs to be copied from the other mirror, you
must start the REVIVE manually after the INITIALIZE command.
You must specify a path.
KEYALGORITHM
specifies the encryption key algorithm on a disk. Valid values are XTS-AES and CBC-AES
This attribute changes the encryption key for a disk (single drive) while that drive is DOWN.
Its mirror may be UP. The disk volume will be online if the mirror is UP. The drive is initialized.
The drive’s volume label is left blank. If data needs to be copied from the other mirror, you
must start the REVIVE manually after the INITIALIZE command.
You must specify a path.
KEYSIZE
specifies the key size for the key algorithm for an encrypted disk. Valid value is 256.
NEWENCRYPTKEY
sets a new encryption key on a disk.
If the disk is not encrypted, it is initialized as encrypted. If the disk is already encrypted, this
attribute changes the encryption key for a disk (single drive) while that drive is DOWN. Its
mirror may be UP. The disk volume will be online if the mirror is UP. The drive’s volume label
is left blank. If data needs to be copied from the other mirror, you must start the REVIVE manually
after the INITIALIZE command.
You must specify a path.
NOTE: Only members of the SAFEGUARD security officer group on the local system can
perform an INITIALIZE DISK command with the NEWENCRYPTKEY attribute. Also, only security
officers can initiate a revive from an encrypted disk to a non-encrypted disk.
See “Attribute Descriptions for Disk Commands” (page 198) for descriptions of all attributes for disk
commands.
INITIALIZE DISK Examples
See “Swapping Processors for a Disk” (page 109).
• To initialize a disk and relabel it using the same volume name:
-> INITIALIZE DISK $DATA12
• To initialize a disk and give it another name:
-> INITIALIZE DISK $DATA12, LABEL $SPARE00
NAMES Command
The NAMES command displays object names for a specified object type and any subordinate
objects
