RE: How long should it take to initialize a 600gb NWS load source?

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Install of the Licensed Internal Code Completed.
However, I got a disk configuration message, only contained one unit.
When trying to enter DST, DST password became disabled.
Had to shutdown to reset DST password.
Load Source is being initialized, again.

1) How do I fix the disk configuration issue?
2) Is the DST password different after the install of LIC?

It should take just seconds. They are formatted during the CRTNWSSTG so 
during the install nearly zero time is required.

IF you are re-using an NWSSTG object that was previously used then it 
WILL re-format during the install. On 10K Drives and 600GB (VERY big 
IMHO) I would expect this to take SEVERAL hours, 6 to 10 even.
