NOTE: When virtual disks are created, the RAID controller starts the background initialization operation. Virtual disks cannot be deleted until this operation completes.

NOTE: If the raid.ini file contains the [ Reset] section, then the RAIDCFG utility removes all the hot spares (dedicated and global) and virtual disks on the specified RAID controllers in the system.
