controller, replace the physical drives and cable
connections that were switched or moved; then,
press F4 to retry.
2. If all the physical drives are present and

Recovering from an incomplete format of a physical drive
During formatting of a physical drive, if the format process is stopped by a system
reset, system shut down, power outage, or by some other means, the physical drive
becomes inoperable.
To enable the physical drive to communicate with the ServeRAID controller again,
do the following:
1. Note the channel of the ServeRAID controller to which the physical drive is
connected.
2. Note the SCSI ID of the physical drive.
3. Use the ipssend format function to restart the format of the physical drive. The
syntax is: ipssend format controller channel sid
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
channel is the channel number for the device (1–4)
v
sid is the SCSI ID for the device (0–15)
After the format is complete, the ServeRAID controller will be able to recognize
the drive again.
