7.8 Using SCSI Disk Utilities

To access the SCSI disk utilities, follow these steps:

1.Select the SCSI Disk Utilities option from the menu that appears after starting SCSISelect. SCSISelect scans the SCSI bus (to deter- mine the devices installed) and displays a list of all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID.

2.Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to a specific ID and device, then press Enter.

3.A small menu appears, displaying the options Format Disk and Ver- ify Disk Media.

Format Disk—Allows you to perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive. Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted at the factory and do not need to be formatted again.

Caution: A low-level format destroys all data on the drive. Be sure to back up your data before performing this operation. You cannot abort a low-level format once it is started.

Verify Disk Media—Allows you to scan the media of a hard disk drive for defects. If the utility finds bad blocks on the media, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select yes, those blocks are no longer used. Pressing Esc at any time aborts the utility.
