Initialization
Technically speaking, Initialization is a foreground activity, as you cannot access a logical drive while it
is Initializing.
Initialization is normally done to logical drives after they are created from a disk array. Initialization sets
all data bits in the logical drive to zero. The action is useful because there may be residual data on
the logical drives left behind from earlier configurations. For this reason, Initialization is recommended
whenever you create a logical drive.
See “Initializing a Logical Drive” on page 134.
