Reconfigure

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
Use the Reconfigure task to change the virtual disks properties. For example, you can use this task to add physical disks or change the RAID level. See "Virtual
Disk Task: Reconfigure (Step 1 of 3)" for more information.

Format, Initialize, Slow and Fast Initialize

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
Use the Format, Initialize, Slow Initialize, or Fast Initialize task to erase the files and remove the file systems on a virtual disk. Some controllers require that
you initialize a virtual disk before it can be used. See "Format and Initialize; Slow and Fast Initialize" for more information.

Cancel Format or Initialize

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
Use the Cancel Format or Cancel Initialize task to cancel the virtual disk format or initialize while it is in progress. For more information on virtual disk format or
initialize, see "Format and Initialize; Slow and Fast Initialize."

Cancel Background Initialization

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
On PERC 3/SC, 3/DC, 3/QC, 4/SC, 4/DC, 4e/DC, 4/Di, 4e/Si, and 4e/Di controllers, background initialization of redundant virtual disks begins automatically after
the virtual disk is created. Because the initialization is run in the background, other processes can continue while the initialization completes.
The background initialization of a redundant virtual disk prepares the virtual disk for parity information and improves write performance. It is important that the
background initialization be allowed to run to completion. You can, however, cancel the background initialization. When you do so, the controller will restart
the background initialization at a later time. See "Background Initialization on PERC 3/SC, 3/DC, 3/QC, 4/SC, 4/DC, 4e/DC, 4/Di, 4e/Si, and 4e/Di Controllers" for
more information.
Use the Cancel Background Initialization task to cancel a background initialization on a virtual disk.

Restore Dead Segments

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
Use the Restore Dead Segments task to recover data from a RAID-5 virtual disk that has been corrupted. The Restore Dead Segments task attempts to
reconstruct data from a corrupt portion of a physical disk included in a RAID-5 virtual disk. The Restore Dead Segments task uses the parity or redundant
information to reconstruct the lost data. This task is not always able to recover lost data.

NOTE: The Cancel Initialize task only applies to the PERC 3/SC, 3/DC, 3/QC, 4/SC, 4/DC, 4e/DC, 4/Di, 4e/Si, 4e/Di, and CERC ATA100/4ch controllers.
NOTE: On the PERC 3/SC, 3/DC, 3/QC, 4/SC, 4/DC, 4e/DC, 4/Di, 4e/Si, and 4e/Di controllers, the controller firmware uses the rebuild rate setting to
control the system resource allocation for the Background Initialization task. See "Set Rebuild Rate" for more information.
