Abstract
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.
