• Select Fast Init or Slow Init to initialize this virtual drive. A fast initialization quickly writes zeroes to the first and last 10 Mbyte regions of the new virtual drive and then completes the initialization in the background. A slow initialization is not complete until the entire virtual drive has been initialized with zeroes. It is seldom necessary to use this option, because the virtual drive was already initialized when you created it. Caution: Before you run an initialization, back up any data on the virtual drive that you want to save. All data on the virtual drive is lost when you initialize it. • Select CC to run a consistency check on this virtual drive. For more information, see Section 4.8.1, "Running a Consistency Check." (This option is not available for RAID 0 virtual drives.) In the right panel of the Virtual Drive screen you can change the virtual drive configuration by adding or removing a drive or by changing the RAID level. Caution: Before you change a virtual drive configuration, back up any data on the virtual drive that you want to save. To remove a drive from a virtual drive, select the drive in the small panel beneath the Remove drive option. Then select Remove drive and click Go at the bottom of the panel. See Section 4.8.4, "Migrating the RAID Level of a Virtual Drive" for information about adding a drive to a virtual drive or migrating its RAID level. 4.6.3 Viewing Drive Properties The Physical Drive screen displays the properties of a selected drive and enables you to perform operations on the drive.
