Initializing Virtual Drives

This section explains the two methods of initializing a virtual drive with the MegaRAID

BIOS CU.

If the F

AST INIT property is enabled, fast initialization is used. In fast initialization, the

MegaRAID BIOS CU quickly writes zeroes to the first and last 8 Mbyte regions of the

new virtual drive.

If the F

AST INIT property is not enabled, the MegaRAID BIOS CU performs a complete

initialization on the virtual drive. This may take a long time if the physical disk drives are

large.

First Initialization Method

Follow these steps to initialize a virtual drive using the INITIALIZE menu.

1. On the MANAGEMENT menu, select INITIALIZE.

2. Use the SPACEBAR to highlight the virtual drive to initialize.

The virtual drive name is highlighted in yellow. To deselect it, highlight the virtual

drive and press the

SPACEBAR again.

3. Press F10.

4. Select Y

ES at the prompt and press ENTER to begin the initialization.

A graph shows the progress of the initialization until it is complete.

WARNING: When you initialize a virtual drive all existing data on the virtual drive

is erased.
