Fibre Disk Utility

CAUTION!

Low-level formatting permanently removes all data on the disk.

The Fibre Disk Utility option opens the Disk Utility Options window (Figure 9-8). This window displays information for all devices on the Fibre Channel loop and provides options to perform disk maintenance functions. The disk maintenance functions include low-level formatting, media verification, and data verification. You can also select a different disk.

Loopback Data Test

NOTE:

When running the loopback data test, ensure that loopback connectors are installed in the adapter ports before starting the test. Do not run this test with the adapter connected to the fabric switch port.

The Loopback Data Test option verifies the adapter transmit and receive functions. This test is not the same as the internal loopback test that is available in QConvergeConsole GUI and QConvergeConsole CLI.

Select Host Adapter

The Select Host Adapter option enables you to select an adapter when there is more than one adapter installed in the server.
