Configuration Utility Format Menu

Format Choose the Format option from the Configuration Utility main menu to low-
level format one or more physical drives.
Formatting a hard drive destroys all data on the drive.
See page 31 for additional information.
Formatting Since most SCSI disk drives are low-level formatted at the factory, this step is
usually not necessary. You must format a disk only if:
• the disk drive was not low-level formatted at the factory, or
•
an excessive number of media errors have been detected on the disk drive.
You do not have to choose Format to erase existing information on your SCSI
disks, such as a system partition. That information is erased when you initialize
the logical drive(s).

Configuration Utility Rebuild Menu

Rebuild Choose the Rebuild option from the Configuration Utility main menu to rebuild
one or more failed disk drives. See page 32 for additional information.
