150 RAIDCFG
NOTE: When virtual disks are being created, the RAID controller starts the
background initialization operation. Virtual disks cannot be deleted until this
operation completes. This limitation affects mostly PERC 3/Di and CERC SATA
controllers.
NOTE: If the raid.ini file contains the [Reset] section, then the RAIDCFG utility
removes all the hot spares (dedicated and global) and virtual disks on the specified
RAID controllers in the system.
Assigning and Unassigning Global Hot Spares
Table 4-8 lists the RAIDCFG options, parameters, and predefined arguments
