Forcing Initialization of a Disk


Caution    Forcing the initialization or reinitialization of a disk can result in data loss.

The Initialize Disk procedure forces the initialization of a disk. This task is intended for use in troubleshooting disks that have already been placed under VxVM control. To initialize a disk for VxVM use, use the Add Disks task instead.

 
   To (re)initialize a disk

  1. Select the disk to be initialized.
  2. Choose Actions > Initialize Disk.
  3. Complete the Initialize Disk dialog box as follows:

    Disk Name:

    If the correct disk name does not already display in this field, enter the disk name.


  4. When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click OK.
