• Logical drive options:
∘ verify_x (Verify with x)—veries the logical drive redundancy and repairs the drive if bad data
is found.
∘ verify—veries the logical drive redundancy without repairing bad data.
∘ clear—removes all data from the drive.
• Physical device options:
∘ verify_x—veries the disk media and repairs the disk if bad data is found.
∘ verify—veries the disk media without repairing bad data.
∘ clear—removes all data from the drive.
∘ initialize—returns a drive to the READY state (erases the metadata).
∘ secureerase [password]—removes all data from the drive in a secure fashion to prevent any
possible recovery of the erased data. See arcconf atapassword on page 18 for details about
setting the password.
MAXCACHE options:
• coherencycheck—compares valid pages of the maxCache Container with their corresponding logical
drive storage. Once is the default.
• verify_x (Verify with x)—veries the maxCache Container redundancy and repairs the logical drive
if bad data is found.
• verify—veries the maxCache Container redundancy without repairing bad data.

arcconf uninit
Description
Uninitializes one or more physical drives. The uninitialize command clears Adaptec meta-data and any
OS partitions from a drive; existing data on the drive is destroyed. Drives can uninitialized only if they
are in the Raw or Ready state (that is, not part of any logical drive). A drive in the Raw state has no
Adaptec meta-data but may or may not have an OS partition.
Note: Uninitialized drives are compatible with any HBA and can be exchanged with
drives on the motherboard's SATA interface. For more information about uninitialized
devices, see arcconf setcontrollermode on page 36.
Syntax:

Parameters
