in the XP24000/XP20000 disk array. Select External if you want to format volumes in external
storage systems.

Select Parity Group if you want to format volumes in parity groups.
6. The list shows disk groups or parity groups.
7. Check the list by taking the following steps:

Check the list to see whether Format appears to the right of the disk groups or parity
groups that will be formatted.
If Format is not displayed, select the disk groups or the parity groups, and then click Set.
The right column will display Format.
b. Check the list to see if nothing appears to the right of the disk groups or parity groups
that will not be formatted.
If anything appears, select the disk groups or parity groups, and then click Release. The

When the Format All dialog box appears, all entries in the Action column are Format, which

If you change the selection in Target when any of the entries in the Action column are empty,
all entries in the Action column will change to Format.
