Parity Initialization Status Initialization Failed

Now I have created a new RAID 5 of 4x 600GB dual port 10K SAS SFF drives on HP DL360 G6 server with P410i Smart Array Controller. There was already a RAID 5 of 4x 300GB drives parity initialization method on the same controller. I've used HP ACU to create the raid and I have formatted the new logical partition on the server, but when I open ACU, blue lights come on (constantly on) on all disks in the new RAID. When I exit ACU lights go out. In the status alerts section I have Code 785 and message "Background parity initialization is currently queued or in progress on Logical Drive 2 (1.6 TB, RAID surface scan analysis priority 5). If background parity initialization is queued, it will start when I/O is performed on the drive. When background parity initialization completes, the performance of the logical drive will improve." On "More information" section I see Parity Initialization Status: In Progress. I have also created small text file on the new partition to see if it writes data. The purpose of this new raid was to move our IBM Domino server databases (about 800GB). Question. Should I wait (and how long would it take) or should I move the data? It is not critical for me to move the data immediately.

Any idea how long it should take? Is there a formula to calculate it? 1

One or more POST errors detected during server setup [SNMP Trap: 6027 in CPQHLTH.MIB]." Background parity initialization is a normal operation that is necessary to initialize logical drives that have a fault tolerance with parity. If background parity initialization is queued, it will start when I/O is performed on the drives. When background parity initialization completes, the performance of the logical drives will improve. HP Smart Array Controllers allow parity initialization for RAID 4, RAID 5 or ADG to be completed as a background process, thus avoiding the significant delays required by controllers that do not support this feature. The warning messages indicate that this process has not been completed. IMPORTANT: NO DATA IS AT RISK. The warning messages indicate only that the Background Parity Initialization process has not been completed. All data that has been written during this process is fully protected against a single-drive failure for RAID 4 and RAI

I know that parity initialisation of a RAID-5 array can take some time but it's still running after 2.5 weeks which seems a little unusual. I'd previously built another array on the same controller using 4 x 2TB SATA-2 drives and that did take a while to complete but a) I'm sure it was less than 2.5 weeks, b) that array was ~12 times bigger and c) during initialization, the percentrage slowly increased each day. At the moment, the status display for this new 2nd array simply says "Parity Initialization Status: In Progress" and it's said that since the start. It's this lack of change on the status that worries me the most - feels like it's not actually doing anything. Do you think something has gone wrong or am I being unpatient and for some reason, the status not increasing is normal? I kind of expected a much smaller array on faster drives (15k SAS versus 7.5k SATA-2) to build in a few days. This is our primary SAN running StarWind so my "have a play" options are very limited. This 2nd array is currently in use for one small
