Formatting and Partitioning the Hard Disks

You will need to start a Telnet session to the IP address of the Maestro Pro-
cessor board on which the hard disk that is to be formatted is mounted. The
commands that you will use are:

altaDiskPart

dosFsVolFormat

chkdsk (optional)

You will also need to un-mount and then mount the drive to complete the
formatting process.

Note

It would be best practice to shut down the Maestro Deployment Center appli-
cation and any Maestro Content Management servers to prevent any attempt
to transfer content while the hard disk is being formatted.

Follow these steps to format and partition the hard disks:

1.

Select the board with the hard disk that is to be formatted in the
Information section, which is below the Software Application and
Configuration sections. In the example shown below in

Figure 236

, the

SWLabHD board was selected.

2.

Click the Telnet button in the top right side of the interface (

Figure 236

).

A command window with the Telnet prompt will then appear
(

Figure 237 on page 339

).
