5.2 Performing Drive Actions
When you select a drive in the Main Display, you can use the Drive Actions panel to perform
the following activities:
Initialize a drive. See section 5.2.1.
Down a drive. See section 5.2.2.
Reserve spare drives. See section 5.2.3.
Show advanced view in the Extents tab. See section 5.3.2.
5.2.1 Initializing a Drive
The xStack Storage Management Center allows you to initialize a new drive that has never
been used in the storage array, or initialize a drive that has been previously “downed” (see
next section). Initialization is typically required when the drive’s Connection State is
Normal, but its status appears as Needs Attention.
To initialize a drive:
1. In the Physical Storage View, select a drive in the Main Display.
2. Perform one of the following steps:
–
On the Physical Storage menu, click Initialize Drive.
–
Click Down Drive in the Physical Storage Actions panel.
–
Press the right mouse button and click Down Drive on the shortcut menu.
Any of these steps displays the message in Figure 5-3.

3. Click Yes to continue, or click No to cancel.
Initializing a drive will destroy any existing volume data that was
stored on that drive.
