Provided are a method, system, and program for initializing a storage device.
A pulse response profile is determined for a storage system in response to a series
of signals generated to seek to a location in the storage system. A determination
is made of a desired response trajectory for the storage system that optimizes
seek performance. An adjustment vector is calculated based on the pulse and step
response profiles and the desired response trajectory to optimize the pulse response
profile. The adjustment vector is stored in the storage device for use during storage
device operations to apply to control signals generated to perform one seek operation.
