Scsi Drive Low-Level Format - Compaq External RAID Controller & Subsystem Infortrend Operation Manual

SCSI Drive Low-level Format

Choose "SCSI Drive Low-level Format" and confirm by selecting
Yes.
Do not switch the controller's and/or SCSI disk drive's power off during
the SCSI Drive Low-level Format. If any power failure occurs during the
formatting process, the formatting must be performed again when power
resumes.
All data stored in disk drives will be destroyed during the low-level
format.
The disk drive on which a low-level disk format will be performed cannot
be a spare drive (local or global) nor a member of a logical drive. The
"SCSI Drive Low-level Format" option will not appear if the drive is not
indicated as a "New Drive" or a "Used Drive." Also, a drive formatted
with a 256MB reserved space is also excluded from selection.
