Step 16. Power-on all array enclosures 1 Power-on the disk enclosures. 2 Power-on the controller enclosure. Disk Sector Reformatting If the disks in the disk enclosures are formatted with 512-byte sectors, they are reformatted to 520-byte sectors at this time. Sector reformatting takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on disk drive capacity. Larger capacity disks take longer to reformat. If the disks have 520-byte sectors, this process is not performed. The disk activity LEDs will flash during sector reformatting. When all disk lights are stable, the reformatting process is complete, and the installation can continue. Caution Do not proceed with the installation of the array until the reformatting is complete. To prevent format corruption, do not remove disk drives or power-off the array during the power-on sequence. If a disk drive is removed or the array is powered off, the array will detect a corrupt format, re-issue the Format command, and restart the formatting process. 34 Virtual Array Installation Guide

Virtual Array Installation Guide
Step 16. Power-on all array enclosures
1
Power-on the disk enclosures.
2
Power-on the controller enclosure.
Disk Sector Reformatting
If the disks in the disk enclosures are formatted with 512-byte sectors, they are
reformatted to 520-byte sectors at this time. Sector reformatting takes 30 to 60
minutes to complete, depending on disk drive capacity. Larger capacity disks
take longer to reformat. If the disks have 520-byte sectors, this process is not
performed.
The disk activity LEDs will
flash during sector reformatting. When all disk lights
are stable, the reformatting process is complete, and the installation can
continue.
Caution
Do not proceed with the installation of the array until the
reformatting is complete.
To prevent format corruption, do not remove disk drives or
power-off the array during the power-on sequence. If a disk
drive is removed or the array is powered off, the array will detect
a corrupt format, re-issue the Format command, and restart the
formatting process.
