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. Turn on your computer and press
Ctrl+A
when prompted to access
the ARC utility.
2. From the ARC menu, select
Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
(as
shown on the screen below).
3. Select
Initialize Drives
.
4. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the disk you wish to
initialize and press
Insert
(as shown on the following screen).
