3.14 Initializing a Logical Drive
A disk array can be initialized after it is created.
Full initialization sets all the data bits in the logical drives to zero. If logical drives are created,
we recommend you run a full initialization first.
IMPORTANT:
 Initialization erases all the data. Be sure to back up important data before
the initialization.
 You may select a logical drive which you want to initialize from the disk
array menu. However, we recommend you follow the procedure below
for initialization to prevent initializing by mistake the wrong logical
drive.
1. Select the logical drive for which the full initialization is to be done in the Tree View.
2. Click the arrow at the right end of the Background Activities tab in the Management Window
and select Start Initialization.
