Configuring Your Server 4-29
Initializing Disk Drives
If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new array or if it appears
grayed out, you may have to initialize it before you can use it as part of an array. Drives attached to
the controller must be initialized before they can be used in an array.
IMPORTANT:
Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the
disk and makes any data on the disk inaccessible. If the drive is used in
an array, you may not be able to use the array again. Do not initialize a
disk that is part of a boot array. To determine which disks are associated
with a particular array, see Viewing Array Properties described earlier
in this section.
To initialize drives:
1.
Turn on your server and press
Ctrl
+
A
when prompted to access the ACU.
2.
From the ACU menu, Array Configuration Utility.
3.
Select Initialize Drives.
4.
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the disk you wish to initialize and press
Insert
.
5.
Repeat Step 3 so that both drives to be initialized are selected.
6.
Press
Enter
.
7.
Read the warning message and ensure that you have selected the correct disk drives to
initialize. Type
Y
to continue.
