HP StoreEver Ultrium Tape Drives - Manual (Page 17)

4. The final window summarizes the format operation that you have defined using the wizard.
When you click Finish, the following operations take place:
a.
If the file system is currently mounted, it is unmounted
b. A “Progress” dialog window is created.
c. The format operation starts.
d. All tape contents are removed and a fresh (empty) index written to the cartridge.
e. If the file system was mounted, the new cartridge is mounted.
f. When the Progress dialog shows that the format is complete, you can close the window.
Using the CheckWizard
The LTFSCheckWizard application has two purposes:
•
To check for problems with the format as written on the cartridge, and usually recover from
them. This is not normally necessary but may be required for example if the drive was powered
off without cleanly unmounting the volume.
•
To facilitate the rolling back of the cartridge contents to an earlier state.
CAUTION: Read all the text on the wizard dialog windows carefully. Completing this wizard
may irretrievably modify the tape contents.
NOTE: If you execute the CheckWizard while no LTFS volume is mapped to a drive letter, the
wizard may require administrative privileges (depending on system security policies and settings).
Running with insufficient privileges will result in an inability to “see” the tape drive and consequently
no checking can be performed. If this occurs, right-click on the executable and select Run as
administrator.
1. The initial screen presents information about the operation that has been started.
