Configure Menu

Choose the Configure option to select a method for configuring arrays and logical
drives. Refer to "Configuring Arrays and Logical Drives" in this chapter for
instructions.

Initialize Option

You must initialize your logical drives before they can be used. This option
initializes the logical drives by writing zeros to the data fields and generating
corresponding parity fields on drives with RAID levels 3, 5, 30, or 50. This option
can initialize one or more logical drives.
When you choose Initialize from the Management menu, a window appears listing
your physical drives. Use the arrow keys to highlight the drive you want to
initialize, then press the Spacebar. You can select more than one drive. To select
all the drives, press F2. To initialize the selected drive(s), press F10.
To cancel initialization once you have started it, press Esc.
CAUTION
When you initialize logical drives by using the Initialize menu
selection, all data on the physical drives is erased.

Objects Menu

Choose the Objects option to access the adapters, logical drives, physical drives,
and SCSI channels individually. You can also change certain settings for each
object.
