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 153.
Making Initialization Settings
To make initialization settings:
1. Click on the Background Activities icon.
2. Click the Settings button.
3. Click the Logical Drive Initialization Rate dropdown menu and choose a rate:
• Low – Fewer system resources to Initialization, more to data read/write operations.
• Medium – Balances system resources between Initialization and data read/write
operations.
• High – More system resources to Initialization, fewer to data read/write operations.
4. Click the Confirm button.
5. Click the X icon to close the background activities panel.
