8.3.8 Formatting hard disks physically
On this server, physical formatting cannot be performed from SCSI Setup Utility menus.
When a hard disk must be formatted physically, perform the following procedure to run the SCSI Low-
Level Format Utility.
Physical formatting deletes all data on the selected hard disk. Make a backup before using this
function.
Physical formatting of a hard disk takes time. Once started, it cannot be aborted. Perform it when you
have enough time.
Do not turn off or reset the server during physical formatting. Otherwise, the hard disk may be
damaged.
The "Server Management Tools" disk supplied with the server is required.
Hard disk units in a disk array configuration cannot be physically formatted. Delete the disk array
beforehand. For the procedure for deleting a disk array, refer to "
■
Deleting a Disk Array" ( pg.243).
