Click the Logical Drive whose schedule you want to cancel. 3. Click the Synchronization tab in Management View. 4. Click the Disable option. Initializing a Logical Drive When logical drive is first created, you can select one of three choices for initialization: • Fast Initialization - Erases the reserve and master boot sectors of the physical drives being added to the logical drive. • Full Initialization - Erases all sectors of the physical drives being added to the logical drive. RAID 1, 5, and 10 only. • None - No initialization. This choice is not recommended. When you select full initialization, the process takes some time, depending on the size of the physical drives in the logical drive. The Initialization tab enables you to pause the initialization process so that more of the controller's resources are available for other operations. When the other operations are done, you can resume the initialization of your new logical drive. 82

whose schedule you want to cancel.
3.

Initializing a Logical Drive
When logical drive is first created, you can select one of three choices for
initialization:
Fast Initialization
– Erases the reserve and master boot sectors of the
physical drives being added to the logical drive.
Full Initialization
– Erases all sectors of the physical drives being added to
the logical drive. RAID 1, 5, and 10 only.
None
– No initialization. This choice is not recommended.
When you select full initialization, the process takes some time, depending on the
size of the physical drives in the logical drive. The Initialization tab enables you to
pause the initialization process so that more of the controller’s resources are
available for other operations. When the other operations are done, you can
resume the initialization of your new logical drive.
