Logical Drive Commands

You can use the commands in this section to select settings for the
logical drives and to perform actions on them.

4.8.1

Display Logical Drive Information

Use the command in

Table 4.20

to display information about logical

drives on the selected adapter(s).

4.8.2

Display Logical Drive Disk Cache Settings

Use the command in

Table 4.21

to display the disk cache settings for the

logical drive(s) on the selected adapter(s).

4.8.3

Manage Logical Drive Initialization

Use the command in

Table 4.22

to manage initialization of the logical

drive(s) on the selected adapter(s).

Note:

In all operating system environments except DOS, the OS
driver starts the initialization process when this command is
issued. In DOS, however, there is no OS driver, so the
MegaCLI CT just marks the drives for initialization. The
initialization actually starts when the driver loads.
