Running a Group Initialization

> Running a Group Initialization

> Initialization prepares the storage medium for use. You can run initialization on multiple drives at one time. Follow these steps to run a group consistency check.

> 1. | Select Manage > Initialize.

> The Group Initialization dialog appears.

> Figure 90. Group Initialization Dialog

> 2. | Select the virtual drive on which to run the initialization, and select the Fast Initialization check box. If you want to do full initialization, uncheck the Fast Initialization check box.

> 3. | Click Start.

> You can monitor the progress of the group initialization.

> NOTE The group initialization process is time-consuming when it is performed simultaneously on multiple drives when I/Os are in progress. You cannot close the Group Initialization dialog and perform any other operation on the MegaRAID Storage Manager application until this process is completed.
