Hello all,

I'm just beeing unsure about a sentence in the HSG60 DOC, so please
let me ask if this should really done this way:

- I have a single HSG60 with a partitioned RAID set
- I want destroy one RAID set partition and create a new one smaller in
  size.
- The HSG60 CLI Reference Guide V8.5
  (http://www.compaq.com/products/storageworks/acs/documentation.html)
  intructs in section "INITIALIZE":

  "After a partition is destroyed, the container from which it was
   created must be initialized."

My doubts/questions are:
- Do I destroy no only this RAID set partition but also the others
  if I apply the "INITIALIZE myraidset" command ?

- What about the (single) controller configuration data, instructed to
  be written to disks with "INITIALIZE myraidset SAVE_CONFIGURATION"
  I gave at RAID set creation time? Are these controller configuration
  data not updated dynamically as a new partition is created?


Many thanks in andvance
Uwe
