Storage system operation when LDEVs are formatted

The storage system acts in one of two ways immediately after an LDEV is added, depending on the default settings in the storage system.

• The storage system automatically formats the added LDEV. This is the default action.

• The storage system blocks the LDEV instead of automatically formatting it.

To confirm or change the default formatting settings on the storage system, contact the administrator. Users who have the Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role can change these default formatting settings.
