IMPORTANT
When a disk is formatted, any data on the disk is lost. Take care when selecting which the drive to
format.
Back up data as necessary before formatting a disk drive.
The disk drives are pre-formatted at factory, so initial formatting by the user is not required.
If a new hard disk drive must be formatted later, use the Solaris format utility to format the disk. Select "Auto
