format Use the format function to perform a low-level format of a physical drive.
Attention:
1. When you issue this command, all data on the disk will be lost.
2. After a format command is issued, do not stop it. If a format process is
stopped for any reason, the hard disk that was being formatted will not
respond to any commands except the format command. Thus, the
ServeRAID controller will not be able to recognize commands anymore.
To recover the drive, refer to “Recovering from an incomplete format of a
physical drive” on page 24.
Supported operating system: DOS
Command:
ipssend format controller channel sid
where:
• controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
• channel is the channel number for the device (1, 2, or 3)
