TIP
It is always recommended to initialize the RAID volume inside the Intel RSTe Console Manager,
after the Experion PKS installation is complete and before using it in the production environment.
If the RAID volume displays the following state "Verify / Rebuild / Initialize" either in POST or in
Intel RSTe management console, it is recommended not to disturb the system until the process
complete. Accessing the system during those process may cause performance issues.
