MegaRAID Manager Format Menu
Format
Choose the Format option from the MegaRAID Manager main menu to low-
level format one or more physical drives.
See 81 for additional information.
Formatting
Since most SCSI disk drives are low-level formatted at the factory, this step is
usually not necessary. You typically must format a disk 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 need to use the Format option if you simply want to erase existing
information on your SCSI disks, such as a DOS partition. That information is
erased when you initialize the logical drive(s).
MegaRAID Manager Rebuild Menu
Rebuild
Choose the Rebuild option from the MegaRAID Manager main menu to rebuild
one or more failed disk drives.
