5.15 SCSI Drive Utilities
From the “View and Edit SCSI Drives”
menu, select the drive that the utility is
to be performed on; then press ENT.
Select “SCSI Drive Utilities; then press
ENT. Choose either “SCSI Drive Low-
level Format” or “Read/Write Test”.
These options are not available for
drives already configured in a logical
configuration, and can only be
performed before a reserved space is
created on drive.
SCSI Drive Low-level Format
Choose “SCSI Drive Low-level Format”
and confirm by selecting Yes.
IMPORTANT!
•
Do not switch the controller’s and/or disk drive’s power off during the
Drive Low-level Format. If any power failure occurs during a drive low-
level format, the formatting must be started over again when power
resumes.
•
All of the data stored in the disk drive will be destroyed during a 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 drive of a logical drive. The
"SCSI Drive Low-level Format" option will not appear if the drive’s status
is not stated as a "New Drive" or a "Used Drive".
