Fast Initialization of virtual disks

  • CAUTION: Performing a Fast Initialization on a virtual disk destroys any data that previously existed on the virtual disk.
A Fast Initialization on a virtual disk overwrites the first and last 8 MB of the virtual disk, clearing any boot records or partition information. The operation takes only 2-3 seconds to complete and is recommended when you are recreating virtual disks. You can perform a Fast Initialization in the CMC.
  • NOTE: A BGI starts five minutes after the Fast Initialization is completed.
