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.
Caution:
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, please refer to
Viewing Array
Properties.
To initialize drives:
1.

Ctrl+A
when prompted to access
the ARC utility.
2.
From the ARC menu, select
Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
(as
