To view the volumes created for the configuration and their status, under
Volume Menu in the left pane, click Physical Volume Management.
When you first create a new RAID 5 configuration, the Status for each
physical unit (PU) is INITIALIZING. After the initial build phase
completes (this can take a while, depending on the number of units and
the size of each; to display the current percentage complete, click the
Physical Volume Management option again), the Status changes to OK.
While the volumes are in an initializing state, they are not redundant.
Note:
Although the volumes are available while they are in an
initializing state, performance is impacted. Overland Storage strongly
recommends that you wait until the Status is OK before using a
volume.
Click Physical Volume Management.
