What am I seeing?
There is no option in the Intel® RAID Web Console utility to initialize the RAID volume created with Intel® RAID Controllers using the Integrated RAID (IR) firmware such as:
| Note | The IR controller is the entry-level Intel® RAID Controller supporting RAID level 0, 1, 10, 1E. |
How to fix it
You do not need to manually start the initialization. Intel RAID Controller using the IR firmware automatically starts background initialization after a RAID volume is created.
After creating the RAID volume, wait for some time and refresh the Intel RAID Web Console. You should then see initialization running in background process.
Refer to the Intel Integrated RAID Solution User Guide for further details.
