Formatting a Volume
Formats a volume.
vol_format vol=VolName
Parameters:
Name Type Description Mandatory
vol Object name Name of the volume to
be formatted.
Y
This command formats a volume. A formatted volume returns zeros as a response
to any read command.
All data stored on the volume is lost and cannot be restored.
The formatting of the volume is done logically and no data is actually written to
the physical storage space allocated for the volume. This allows the command to
complete instantly.
The volume's lock state must be unlocked when the command is issued.
This command fails if the volume has snapshots associated with it, or if the
volume is a snapshot, or if the volume is part of any mirroring or Data Migration
definition.
Example:
vol_format vol=DBVolume
