Dell FluidFS NAS Solutions Administrator's Guide

Formatting File System

  • NOTE: Only NX3600 and NX3610 support formatting of file systems using the NAS Manager. For FS8600, File System Format is performed by Enterprise Manager when initially deploying the FS8600 using Enterprise Manager.

A file system format installs the file system on the LUNs mapped to the NAS. The format erases any existing data contained on the LUNs. A file system format must occur before a NAS Volume can be created. The file system format is usually a onetime event unless the NAS is redeployed and existing data is no longer needed.

To format the file system, select Cluster Management > Maintenance > File System Format and click Format.
