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congurations.Forthisreason,Initializationisrecommended
whenever you create a logical drive.
See “Initializing a Logical Drive” on page 102.
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 Conrmbutton.
5. Click the X icon to close the background activities panel.
