The completion of array creation will be indicated by the above message prompt.

A controller event will then prompt to indicate the logical drive initialization has begun. Tap [ESC] to cancel the “Notification” prompt and a progress indicator displays on the screen as a percentage bar.

The array initialization runs in the background while you can start using the array or continue configuring your RAID system.

When a fault-tolerant RAID level (RAID 1, 3, or 5) is selected, the controller will start initializing parity.

Use the [ESC] key to view the status of the created logical drive.

IMPORTANT!

Mind that only logical drives with RAID level 1, 3 and 5 will take the time to initialize the logical drive. Logical drives with RAID level 0 and NRAID do not have the necessity to perform logical drive initialization; the drive initialization will be finished almost immediately.
