Upon setting up a new Dell Poweredge system with RAID 10, I see in System Setup --> Virtual Disk Management the Virtual Disk I created is performing a background initialization. From my understanding, this is setting up the various parity/mirror information on the disks and not modifying any real data.
During this background initialization, I can upgrade BIOS, install an OS, etc without issues. System reboots and keeps initializing. Am I able to power off this system and resume next week and initialization will just continue where it left off?
