Full initialization

Performing a full initialization on a virtual disk overwrites all blocks and destroys any data that previously existed on the virtual disk. Full initialization of a virtual disk eliminates the need for the virtual disk to undergo a Background Initialization (BGI). Full initialization can be performed after the virtual disk is created.

You can start a full initialization on a virtual disk by using the Slow Initialize option in the Dell OpenManage storage management application. For more information on using the HII Configuration Utility to perform a full initialization, see Configure virtual disk parameters.

NOTE:If the system reboots during a full initialization, the operation aborts and a BGI begins on the virtual disk.
