This menu contains items to help you create a RAID array, view the current RAID configuration, add a new array, delete an existing array, or select a boot virtual drive.

•Initialize

This menu helps you initialize virtual drive(s).

Note: Initializing a virtual drive erases all data on the virtual drive. Back up any data you want to keep and ensure the operating system is not installed on the virtual drive before the initialization.

•Objects

This menu helps you configure parameters for the RAID adapter or controller, the virtual drive(s), and the physical drive(s).

•Rebuild

This menu helps you rebuild a physical drive in an array in the event of a physical drive failure. You can choose to rebuild the data on the failing drive if the drive is still operational. If the drive is not operational, it must be replaced and the data on the failing drive must be rebuilt on a new drive to restore the system to fault tolerance. If hot-spare drives are available, the failing drive might be rebuilt automatically without any user intervention.

•Check Consistency

This menu helps you do consistency check for the virtual drive(s). The consistency check verifies the correctness of the data on virtual drive(s) that use RAID 1, 5, and 10.
