InitializeAll
is a global keyword that you need to specify only once.
InitializeAll
is always performed prior to array creation regardless of its
position in the script.
If both
InitializeAll=Yes
and
InitializeAll=No
are specified in the same script
file,
InitializeAll=Yes
is always the overriding value.
If an array is deleted during a Build/Verify process, the process is
automatically terminated.
Method Keyword
Method
is an optional keyword, indicating which method to use when
creating a redundant (RAID 1, 5, and 10) array. Possible values:
●
Build
(the default)—Perform a Build/Verify process on the array.
Takes longer than
Clear
(see below), but allows you to begin using
the array immediately.
●
Clear
—Clear the array. Faster than a Build/Verify process, but you
have to wait for the operation to be completed before you can begin
using the array.
●
Quick Init
—Makes the array available immediately, but does not
accomplish a Build/Verify. Parity and mirror information is created
as data is written to the disk drive (called full-stripe write mode),
which reduces overall array performance. Maximum performance is
achieved by starting and completing a Build/Verify.
For example:
Method=Build
ReadCache Keyword
ReadCache
indicates whether the array uses read caching.
Possible values:
●
Yes
(default)—Enable read caching.
●
No
—Disable read caching.
For example:
ReadCache=Yes
