RAID Initialization

Initialization will automatically begin after a RAID, excluding RAID 0, is created. Initialization is crucial to prevent data loss.

Tip:

To improve the system performance under the load, try decreasing initialization priority by changing the corresponding RAID parameter.

Tip:

The random write performance is higher on an initialized RAID.

To start or continue the RAID initialization, run

# xicli raid init start <arg>

Table 1. Argument for the init start subcommand
Required argument
-n	--name	The name of the RAID.

To stop the RAID initialization, run

# xicli raid init stop <arg>

Table 2. Argument for the init stop subcommand
Required argument
-n	--name	The name of the RAID.

Example: Start initialization of the RAID ”media5”:

# xicli raid init start -n media5
