Full Inititialization of Virtual Disks

Performing a full initialization on a virtual disk overwrites all blocks and destroys any data that previously existed on the virtual disk. A full initialization eliminates the need for that virtual disk to undergo a background initialization and can be performed directly after the creation of a virtual disk.

During full initialization, the host is not be able to access the virtual disk. You can start a full initialization on a virtual disk by using the Slow Initialize option in the Dell OpenManage Storage Management application. To use the BIOS Configuration Utility to perform a full initialization, see "Initializing Virtual Disks" on page 88.

NOTE: If the system is rebooted during a full initialization, the operation aborts and a BGI begins on the virtual disk.

Fast Inititialization of Virtual Disks

A fast initialization on a virtual disk overwrites the first and last 8 MB of the virtual disk, clearing any boot records or partition information. This operation takes only 2-3 seconds to complete and is recommended when recreating virtual disks. To perform a fast initialization using the BIOS Configuration Utility, see "Initializing Virtual Disks" on page 88.

Consistency Checks

Consistency Check is a background operation that verifies and corrects the mirror or parity data for fault tolerant virtual disks. It is recommended that you periodically run a consistency check on virtual disks.

You can manually start a consistency check using the BIOS Configuration Utility or a Open Manage storage management application. To start a consistency check using the BIOS Configuration Utility, see "Checking Data Consistency" on page 88. Consistency checks can be scheduled to run on virtual disks using a Open Manage storage management application.
