If a Snap Data Pool Volume is created using the [Set Snap Data Pool]
function, the created Snap Data Pool Volume will be formatted
automatically. In this case, it is not necessary to format the volume using
the [Format Logical Volume] function.
There is a limit to the capacity of volumes that can be formatted
concurrently. If formatting fails, wait until the current format process is
complete, and then format the volumes that failed to format.
When Resource Domains are registered in the ETERNUS DX400/
DX8000 series, volumes that can be formatted differ depending on the
current user account.
- When logged on using a Total Administrator account, all the volumes
that are assigned to Resource Domains can be formatted.
- When logged on using a Resource Domain Administrator account,
only the volumes that are assigned to the relevant Resource
Domain, and only the volumes that are assigned to the Shared
Resource, can be formatted.
Volumes cannot be formatted under the following conditions:
- When the relevant volume is being encrypted
- When the relevant volume is in a RAID Group in which LDE is being
performed
- When the relevant volume status is not "Available" or "Readying"
If a volume is formatted while any of the following operations are in
progress, an error will occur and stop the operation.
- Advanced Copy
- Remote Advanced Copy
- RAID Migration
- Balancing of Thin Provisioning Volumes
Formatting progress of non-Thin Provisioning Volumes can be checked
either using the [Volume List] function or the [RAID Group List] function.
Formatting progress of Thin Provisioning Volumes can be checked
using the [Thin Provisioning Pool List] function. Note that Thin
Provisioning Volume (TPV) formatting progress is displayed as the
progress of Thin Provisioning Pool formatting where the TPV is
registered.
Progress of Advanced Copy and Remote Advanced Copy can be
checked using the [Advanced Copy Status] function.
Progress of RAID Migration can be checked using the [Progress of
RAID Migration] function.
Progress of balancing Thin Provisioning Volumes can be checked using
the [Progress of Balance Thin Provisioning Volume] function.
