05. Initialize System Drive
Once a system drive is created (refer to “02. New Configuration” for details), it must be
initialized before the system can use it. The process fills the drives with initialized data and
synchronizes redundancy (mirror or parity). Errors can result if you fail to initialize a
system drive. For example, the drive may not function properly, fail to boot, fail to install
the operating system, or fail the consistency check. Also, a change in the size of the system
drives or packs requires that you initialize a system drive.
NOTE The initialization process is much faster with write-back cache enabled. You can enable
write-back cache for this process, and then disable it after initialization, if desired. Refer to
“03. View/Update Configuration” and select Define System Drive to change the write policy.
Once the system drive initialization starts, it cannot be aborted.
