Quick Format function

The Quick Format function formats internal volumes in the background. While Quick Format is running, you can configure your system before the formatting completes.

Before using Quick Format to format internal volumes, ensure that the internal volumes are in blocked status.

I/O operations from hosts during Quick Format are allowed. Formatting in the background can affect performance.

Because shared resources such as MP units or cache paths are used during quick format operations, all host I/Os in a storage system can be affected.

Do not start more than four quick format operations at the same time.
