Viewing and Changing Virtual Drive Properties
To access the Virtual Drive screen, click a virtual drive icon in the right panel on the
WebBIOS CU main screen. The following figure shows the Virtual Drive screen.
The configuration items in the screen above vary with the existing RAID level.
The Properties panel of this screen displays the virtual drive’s RAID level, state,
capacity, and strip size.
The Policies panel lists the virtual drive policies that were defined when the
storage configuration was created. To change any of these policies, make a
selection from the drop-down menu, and click Change.
The Operations panel lists operations that can be performed on the virtual drive.
To perform an operation, select it, and click Go. Choose from the following options:
• Select Delete to delete this virtual drive.
• Select Locate to make the LEDs flash on the drives used by this virtual drive.
This works only if the drives are installed in a drive enclosure that supports
SCSI-Accessed-Fault-Tolerant-Enclosure (SAFTE).
• Select Fast Init or Slow Init to initialize this virtual drive. A fast initialization
quickly writes zeroes to the first and last 10-MB regions of the new virtual drive
and then completes the initialization in the background. A slow initialization
is not complete until the entire virtual drive has been initialized with zeroes. It
is seldom necessary to use this option, because the virtual drive was already
initialized when you created it.
Before you run an initialization, back up any data on the virtual drive that you
want to save. All data on the virtual drive is lost when you initialize the drive.
