omconfig storage pdisk action=initialize controller= id pdisk=<PDISKID>

where id is the controller ID. The <PDISK> variable specifies the physical disk. See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter" for more information.

To obtain these values, you would enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage pdisk controller=ID to
display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.

In this example, you want to initialize physical disk 3 on connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the physical disk resides in enclosure 2.

Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers:

To initialize the physical disk described in this example, you would enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=initialize controller=1 pdisk=0:3

See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter on SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers" and "Multiple Targets" for more information on physical disk specification. See "RAID
Controller Technology: SCSI, SATA, ATA, and SAS" to identify which technology a controller uses.

Example for SAS Controllers:

To initialize the physical disk described in this example, you would enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=initialize controller=1 pdisk=0:2:3

See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter on SAS Controllers" and "Multiple Targets" for more information on physical disk specification. See "SAS RAID Controllers" to
identify which controllers use SAS technology.
