5.3.3 Format Thin Provisioning Pool
This function formats the Thin Provisioning Pool. Select whether to format all the registered Thin
Provisioning Pools or format only the unformatted Thin Provisioning Pools.
This section describes how to format the Thin Provisioning Pools.
Procedure
1 Click [Format Thin Provisioning Pool] under the Thin Provisioning Management
in the [Configuration] menu.

• When formatting all the registered Thin Provisioning Pools (TPP), data
stored in the Thin Provisioning Volumes (TPV) in TPP will be deleted.
Format TPV to use them again, after deleting data. Use the [Format
Logical Volume] function to format TPV.
• If a Thin Provisioning Pool (TPP) is created using the [Create/Extend
Thin Provisioning Pool] function, the created TPP will be formatted
automatically. In this case, it is not necessary to format the TPP using
the [Format Thin Provisioning Pool] function.
• When a TPP, to which the currently balancing TPV belongs, is
formatted, an error occurs and the balancing TPV is stopped.
• When a TPP, to which the currently migrating TPV belongs, is formatted,
an error occurs and the RAID Migration is stopped.
• The [Format Thin Provisioning Pool] function cannot be used in the
following conditions:
- When no Thin Provisioning Pools are registered
- When no Thin Provisioning Pools can be formatted
• When Resource Domains are registered in the ETERNUS DX400/
DX8000 series, the Thin Provisioning Pools that can be formatted differ
depending on the current user account.
- When logged on using a Total Administrator account, all the Thin
Provisioning Pools that are assigned to Resource Domains can be
formatted.
- When logged on using a Resource Domain Administrator account,
only the Thin Provisioning Pools that are assigned to the relevant
Resource Domain, and only the Thin Provisioning Pools that are
assigned to the Shared Resource, can be formatted.
Refer to the [Thin Provisioning Pool List] function for format progress.
