Initializing Logical Drives



Initializing Logical Drives

Initializing Logical Drives: Initializing a logical drive erases the first 1024 sectors on the drive and prevents access to any data previously stored on that drive. You must initialize all new logical drives before storing data in them.

To initialize a logical drive:
  1.  Select the logical drive that you want to initialize from the Main Screen of the Administration and Monitoring  utility program.

     A screen similar to the following appears.

     
  2.  Click on Initialze to initialize the drive


Note:

RAID 5 logical drives are automatically synchronized when you initialize them.
You do not need to synchronize RAID level 0 or 1 logical drives before storing data.
