The Fibre Disk Utility option opens the Disk Utility Options window ( Figure 9-8 ).
This window displays information for all devices on the Fibre Channel loop and
provides options to perform disk maintenance functions. The disk maintenance
functions include low-level formatting, media verification, and data verification.
You can also select a different disk.

Loopback Data Test
The Loopback Data Test option verifies the adapter transmit and receive
functions. This test is not the same as the internal loopback test that is available in
QConvergeConsole GUI and QConvergeConsole CLI.
Select Host Adapter
The Select Host Adapter option enables you to select an adapter when there is
more than one adapter installed in the server.
CAUTION!
Low-level formatting permanently removes all data on the disk.
NOTE:
When running the loopback data test, ensure that loopback connectors are
installed in the adapter ports before starting the test. Do not run this test with
the adapter connected to the fabric switch port.
