Initializing Logical Drives
You should initialize each new logical drive you configure. You can initialize
the logical drives in two ways:
•
Batch Initialization. The Initialize option in the main menu lets you
initialize logical drives simultaneously.
•
Individual Initialization. The Objects/Logical Drive action menu for an
individual logical drive has an Initialize option.
