Initialization

Initialization is normally done to logical drives after they are created from a disk array. Initialization
sets all data bits in the logical drive to zero. This action is useful because there may be residual
(possibly sensitive) data on logical drives left from earlier configurations. For this reason,
initialization is recommended whenever you create a logical drive.
Note: You cannot access a logical drive while it is initializing.
See Initializing a Logical Drive.
