Chapter 11: Managing Controllers, Disk Drives, and Enclosures ● 123 Initializing Disk Drives You can use Adaptec Storage Manager to initialize any disk drives that are in a Ready state, if required. You may want to do this to erase all existing data and metadata (including all logical drive information). ! Caution: Do not initialize a disk drive that is part of a logical drive. Initializing a disk drive that's part of a logical drive may make the logical drive unusable. Back up all data from your disk drive before you initialize it. To initialize a single disk drive: 1 In the Physical Devices view, click the disk drive you want to initialize. 2 In the menu bar, select Actions, then click Initialize. 3 Click Yes to initialize the disk drive. The initialization begins. To initialize all ready disk drives on a controller: 1 In the Enterprise View, click the controller whose disk drives you want to initialize. 2 In the menu bar, select Actions, then click Initialize all ready drives. 3 Click Yes to initialize the disk drives. The initialization begins.
