Degraded (DGD) Volume is Active and the user's data is not fully protected due to a
configuration change or drive failure; a data resync or rebuild may be in
progress.
Inactive (OKY) Volume is inactive and drives are functioning properly and user data is
protected if the current RAID level provides data protection.

Physical device status values are as follows:
Online (ONL) The drive is operational and is part of a logical drive.
Hot Spare (HSP) The drive is a hot spare that is available for replacing a failed drive in
an array.
Ready (RDY) The drive is ready for use as a normal disk drive or it can be, but has
not been, assigned to a disk array or hot spare pool.
Available (AVL) The hard disk drive may or may not be ready, and it is not suitable for
inclusion in an array or hot spare pool (for example, it is not spun up,
its block size is incorrect, or its media is removable).
Failed (FLD) Drive was part of a logical drive or was a hot spare drive, and it failed.
It has been taken offline.
Standby (SBY) This status is used to tag all non-hard disk devices.
FORMAT
The FORMAT command performs a low-level format of a disk drive. This operation can only be
performed on a hard disk drive. The drive cannot be an IR volume or a hot spare drive.
Syntax
cfggen <controller #> format <Encl:Bay> [noprompt]
Parameters
<controller #> A SAS controller number between 0 and 255.
<Encl:Bay> Enclosure number and Bay number that identifying the disk drive that
will be formatted.
[noprompt] Eliminates warnings and prompts.
CAUTION: Performing a low-level format on a hard disk drive results in the destruction of all
data stored on that disk drive. The operation cannot and should not be interrupted; doing so
may result in irreparable damage to the hard disk drive.
Operation
Unless you include <no prompt> on the command line, warning messages display. You are
required to properly answer a series of prompts or the command aborts. The answers are case
sensitive and must be entered in upper case.
This command will not complete and return to a shell prompt until the format operation is
complete. Depending on the capacity and model of disk drive, this can take a considerable amount
of time.
