Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide /clear{=boolean} Specifies whether to set up the parity during RAID-5 creation by clearing the entire RAID-5 set. If you specify TRUE, the command sets up the parity during RAID-5 creation by clearing the RAID-5 set. The default is FALSE; the command does not clear the entire RAID-5 set. If you use neither this switch nor the /scrub switch, the command uses the scrub method by default. Unlike the scrub method where the drive is immediately available, the clear method does not make the drive available for use until the parity-initialize operation completes. If you specify TRUE for both the /scrub and /clear switches, the command displays an appropriate error message and returns to the prompt. /stripe_size{=integer} Specifies the stripe size for the RAID-5 set. Valid values are 16 KB, 32 KB, and 64 KB. If you do not specify a value for this switch, it defaults to 64 KB. /label{=string} Specifies a label to be assigned to the newly created RAID-5 set. You can specify a maximum of sixteen characters for the label. If you do not specify the switch, it defaults to no label. If you do not specify a label, you can do so later by using the container set label command. Note that this label is not the label that displays in Windows Explorer. The label displayed by Windows Explorer comes from the label specified with the container format command. /scrub{=boolean} Specifies whether to set up the parity during RAID-5 creation by scrubbing the RAID-5 set. If you set this switch to TRUE, the command sets up the parity by scrubbing the RAID-5 set. 5-26

Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide
/clear{=boolean}
Specifies whether to set up the parity during RAID-5 creation
by clearing the entire RAID-5 set. If you specify
TRUE
, the
command sets up the parity during RAID-5 creation by
clearing the RAID-5 set.
The default is
FALSE
; the command does not clear the entire
RAID-5 set.
If you use neither this switch nor the
/scrub
switch, the
command uses the scrub method by default.
Unlike the scrub method where the drive is immediately
available, the clear method does not make the drive available
for use until the parity-initialize operation completes.
If you specify
TRUE
for both the
/scrub
and
/clear
switches, the command displays an appropriate error message
and returns to the prompt.
/stripe_size{=integer}
Specifies the stripe size for the RAID-5 set. Valid values are
16 KB, 32 KB, and 64 KB.
If you do not specify a value for this switch, it defaults to
64 KB.
/label{=string}
Specifies a label to be assigned to the newly created RAID-5
set. You can specify a maximum of sixteen characters for the
label.
If you do not specify the switch, it defaults to no label. If you
do not specify a label, you can do so later by using the
container set label
command.
Note that this label is not the label that displays in Windows
Explorer. The label displayed by Windows Explorer comes
from the label specified with the
container format
command.
/scrub{=boolean}
Specifies whether to set up the parity during RAID-5 creation
by scrubbing the RAID-5 set. If you set this switch to
TRUE
, the
command sets up the parity by scrubbing the RAID-5 set.
