Initializing Disk Drives
If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new array
or if it appears grayed out, you may have to initialize it before you can use it as part
of an array. Drives attached to the controller must be initialized before they can be
used in an array.
Caution: Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the disk and makes any
data on the disk inaccessible. If the drive is used in an array, you may not be able to
use the array again.
Do not initialize a disk that is part of a boot array. To determine which disks are as-
sociated with a particular array, please refer to
Viewing Array Properties.
To initialize drives:
1. Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the ARC util-
ity.
2. From the ARC menu, select Array Confi guration Utility (ACU) (as shown in the
screen below).
3. Select Initialize Drives (as shown in the screen below).
