3.5.4Initializing Logical Drives
You can initialize the logical drives using individual initialization, which initializes a single logical disk.
There are two methods to initialize a logical drive using the individual initialization procedure using the CU.
For the first method, perform the following steps to initialize a logical drive using the Initialize menu.
Step 1. On the Management Menu, select Initialize.
Step 2. Use the space bar to highlight the logical drive to initialize.

Step 3. Press <F10>.
Step 4. Select Yes at the prompt and press <Enter> to begin the initialization.
A graph shows the progress of the initialization until it is complete.
Step 5. After the initialization is complete, press <Esc> to return to previous menus.
If you press <Esc> while initialization is in progress, the following options display:
◊Stop: The CU stores the percentage of the initialization already completed. When you restart initialization, it continues from the last percentage completed rather than from zero percent.
◊Continue: initialization continues normally.
◊Abort: The initialization is completely aborted. If you restart initialization, it begins at zero percent.
For the second method, perform the following steps to initialize a logical drive using the Objects menu.
Step 1. From the Management Menu, select Objects→ Logical Drive submenu, as shown in Figure 3.3.
