NOTE: When formatting the LDEV, make sure that the value of the status attribute of the LDEV
is Blocked. If the value of status is Normal, specify true in the force parameter when you
format the LDEV.
NOTE: If the LUSE volume you want to specify includes an LDEV whose status is not Blocked,
delete that LUSE volume, and then execute the command.
NOTE: If you execute this command while LDEVs are being formatted in the target storage
subsystem, an error occurs.
Table 4-28 FormatLU command parameters
Parameter Name Status Description
serialnum Required Serial number of the storage subsystem of the LU to be formatted
model Required Model of the storage subsystem of the LU to be formatted
devnums Required List of the device numbers of the LUs to be formatted
When you specify multiple device numbers, separate the numbers by
using a comma as a delimiter.
This parameter can be specified in decimal or in colon-separated
hexadecimal. If you specify a hexadecimal number, for
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, XP1024/XP128, and XP512/XP48, use the
xx:yy format, where xx is the CU number, and yy is the LDEV number. For
XP24000/XP20000, use the ww:xx:yy format, where ww is the LDKC
number, xx is the CU number, and yy is the LDEV number. ww is optional.
If you omit ww, the LDKC number is regarded as 0.
NOTE: The execution results are output in decimal.
