3.2.5 Low Level Format Utility
Since most SCSI drives are already pre-formatted when shipped from their manufacturers,
you can skip this section except in the following situations:
• A disk drive is damaged
• The disk drive has not been formatted with the 512B/block parameter
After selecting the desired device and confirming the operation, the low-level format will
proceed. Under normal circumstances, it is both unnecessary and inadvisable to perform low-
level formatting. Executing this utility will erase all information on the drive.
3.2.6 Verify Disk Utility
This utility is used to detect bad blocks on the chosen disk. With your confirmation, the bad
blocks detected can be reassigned for future operations. The SCSI VERIFY command is non-
destructive, and therefore won't destroy the data on the drive.
