Changing the initialization settings
In the "User preferences" window, you can change the initialization
settings.
Initializing a logical drive erases the first 1024 sectors on the drive and
prevents access to any data previously stored on the drive. The default setting
is checked. When this setting is enabled, the ServeRAID Manager automatically
initializes each new logical drive and prevents access to the manual initialization
function.
- Click the Initialization settings tab.
- Select the check box to enable or disable automatic initialization of logical
drives.
Attention: If
you deselect (disable) automatic initialization, the ServeRAID Manager will not initialize
each logical drive (by writing zeros to the first 1024 sectors of the logical
drive) when it is created. You must still initialize all newly defined logical
drives before storing data.
- Click OK.
