• Initialize: Fast — Updates the metadata on the physical disks so that all the disk space is available for future write
operations. The initialize option can be completed quickly because existing information on the physical disks is not erased,
although future write operations overwrites any information that remains on the physical disks.
• Initialize: Full — All existing data and file systems are erased.
NOTE: The Initialize: Full option is not applicable for PERC H330 controllers.
• Check Consistency — To check the consistency of a virtual disk, select Check Consistency from the corresponding drop-
down menu.
NOTE: Consistency check is not supported on drives set up in RAID0 mode.
• Encrypt Virtual Disk — Encrypts the virtual disk drive. If the controller is encryption capable, you can create, change or
delete the security keys.
NOTE: The Encrypt Virtual Disk option is available only if the virtual disk is created using the Self-Encrypting
Drive (SED) drives.
• Manage Dedicated Hotspares — Assign or unassign a physical disk as a dedicated hot spare. Only the valid dedicated hot
spares are displayed. If there are no valid dedicated hot spares, then this section does not appear in the drop-down menu.
For more information about these options, see the iDRAC Online Help .
