init -a resume -l <LdId>
Summary
The init command starts, stops, pauses, and resumes a logical drive initialization.
A full initialization writes to the entire logical drive space and takes several
minutes, depending on the size of the logical drive.
A quick initialization writes to the first and last few megabytes of the logical drive.
Typically, a quick initialization is completed in moments.
Options

list Displays a list of the initializations in progress or paused
and their status. The default action.

-q <size> Specifies the amount of data in megabytes (MB) for a
quick initialization.
1..1024
-p <pattern> Specifies the pattern for a full initialization.
The pattern can range from 1 to 128 bytes (HEX string),
and is padded to even number of bytes, such as, fff
