Viewing Logical Drive Initialization
When logical drive is first created, you can choose one of three methods for
initialization: Fast, Full, and None. See page 106 for more information.
When you choose Full Initialization, the process takes some time, depending on
the size of the physical drives selected for the logical drive. The Initialization tab
enables you to view the initialization progress on your logical drive.
To view Initialization progress:
1. Click the Logical Drive View icon in Tree View.
2. Click the Logical Drive icon.
3. Click the Initialization tab in Management View.
You can monitor Initialization progress on the Initialization tab.
Click the respective buttons to pause and resume the Initialization.
To abort an Initialization, you must delete the logical drive. See “Deleting a
Logical Drive or JBOD Disk” on page 78.
Activating a Logical Drive
This feature enables you to convert a RAID 1 logical drive from Offline to Critical
status, so you can rebuild the logical drive and access your data. This condition
occurs when a single physical (disk) drive from a RAID 1 logical drive is
connected to the motherboard.
This feature does not apply to an offline RAID 0, 5, or 10 logical drive or to JBOD.
In the example below, icons of a white X within a red circle appear over the
Motherboard, Controller, Logical Drive View, and Logical Drive icons. In
Management View, the status is shown as Offline.
