arcconf uninit

Description
Uninitializes one or more physical drives so that they can be used in HBA mode. The uninitialize command
clears Adaptec meta-data and any OS partitions from a drive. Drives can uninitialized only if they are in
the Raw or Ready state (that is, not part of any logical drive). A drive in the Raw state has no Adaptec
meta-data but may or may not have an OS partition.
Note: For more information about HBA mode, see
34.
