Adaptec RAID 2120S Installation And User Manual page 89

Notes:
InitializeAll is a global keyword that you need to
specify only once.
InitializeAll is always performed prior to array
creation regardless of its position in the script.
If both InitializeAll=Yes and InitializeAll=No are
specified in the same script file, InitializeAll=Yes is
always the overriding value.
If an array is deleted during a build/verify process, the
process is automatically terminated.
Possible values are as follows:
Yes—Initialize all drives.
No (the default)—Do not initialize all drives; only those drives
specified with the Drives keyword are initialized.
Examples
Type=Volume
Type=RAID1
Method Keyword
Method is an optional keyword, indicating which method to use
when creating a redundant (RAID 1, 5, and 10) array. Possible
values are:
Build (the default)—Perform a build/verify process on the array.
Takes longer than Clear, but allows you to begin using the array
immediately.
Clear—Clear the array. Faster than a build/verify process, but
you have to wait for the operation to be completed before you
can begin using the array.
Quick Init—Makes the array available immediately, but does not
accomplish a build/verify. Parity and mirror information is created
as data is written to the drive (called full-stripe write mode), which
reduces overall array performance. Maximum performance is
achieved by starting and completing a build/verify.
Example
Method=Build
