Initializing Disk Drives
If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new array, or if it appears grayed out, you may have to initialize it before you can use it as part of an array. Drives attached to the controller must be initialized before they can be used in an array.
Caution: Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the disk and makes any data on the disk inaccessible. If the drive is used in an array, you may not be able to use the array again.
Do not initialize a disk that is part of a boot array. To determine which disks are as- sociated with a particular array, please refer to "Viewing Array Properties."
