ReadyNAS OS 6.7 For information about initializing and formatting LUNs, see Initialize and Format LUNs on page 101. Initialize and Format LUNs After you set up initiator access to the LUN group, you must initialize and format each LUN in the LUN group. For more information about setting up initiator access, see Set Up Initiator Access on page 96. The following procedure uses the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator, which is freely available online and is integrated in Windows 7. Note If you use an operating system other than Windows, the steps are different, but the basic tasks remain the same. To initialize and format LUNs in the LUN group: 1. Open the Windows Disk Management application. Each LUN in the LUN group displays as an unallocated disk that must be initialized and formatted. Tip If the disks do not display, select Action > Refresh in the Disk Management window. 2. Initialize unallocated disks: a. Select an unallocated disk by clicking it. b. In the Disk Management window, select Action > All Tasks > Initialize Disk. c. Select the check box next to each unallocated disk that you want to initialize. LUNs 101
