CAUTION: Before initialization, note the following:
•
During initialization, all data is deleted from the disk. Before proceeding, back up any
data.
•
If the drive is already used in an array, initialization may make the array unusable.
•
Do not initialize a disk that is part of a boot array. The boot array is the lowest numbered
array (normally 00) in the List of Arrays dialog box. For information on determining which
disks are associated with a particular array, refer to "Viewing Array Properties" later in this
chapter.
