NOTE: When virtual disks are created, the RAID controller starts the background initialization
operation. Virtual disks cannot be deleted until this operation completes.
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.
