SYSGEN AND SYSGEN-RELATED PROCEDURES

Formatting a system disk

Formatting a system disk is used whenever the following system changes occur:

When to use You can use the FORMAT command to format one or more of the LPS system disks and to flag any new bad block areas. Disks are formatted when:

A new system is generated from a SST.

An additional disk is factored into the system.

A system disk is replaced.

Read errors or other disk problems have occurred.

A new version of software is installed that has a new format program.

A patch is installed which explicitly requires that the disk be formatted.

Note: The FORMAT command deletes all files except the MBAIS file, performs a sector check, and flags any new bad block areas. The ERASE command saves the existing MBAIS and bad block files; no new sector check is performed.

Caution: Contact your site representative before formatting system disks

Caution: When you are installing a new system or a new version of software, do not boot from disk. You must boot the sysgen processor from the system software tape, so that you use the format program contained in the new version of software.
