Initializing a Logical RAID Drive
Before you can use a logical RAID drive, it must be initialized to ensure consistent
RAID parity information. For RAID levels that provide redundancy, this step is
crucial to ensure that the RAID parity information is consistent from the beginning.
_____________________ CAUTION ___________________________
Do not initialize a logical RAID drive if it has valid data. Initialization
overwrites and destroys all data.
After you initialize a logical RAID drive, do not change or rearrange the physical
drives or cables. Otherwise, all data in the drive group can be lost.
