LDEV format

Available (Quick Format is not available.)

System Option Mode 867 OFF

When you perform the format operation on a DP-VOL, the storage system releases the allocated page area in the DP-VOL. The quick format cannot be performed. If the LDEV format is applied to V-VOLs that are enabled for full allocation, the used pool capacity is not changed before the LDEV format is applied.
