Alletra MP - Volumes format is taking slowness

Hello Team,

We are facing issue in Windows Server Disk format.

The storage is using Alletra MP and the disk is created and then presented to DL380 Gen11.

The server OS is using Windows 2022.

While format the disk is taking 3 to 4 Mins. The servers and Storage is connected SN 6610C switch.

Please advise, is this behavior is normal.

Hi @buzzsubash ,

Thanks for your update.

We are trying to format NTFS file system. 

Tested 2TB volume format is taking 10 Mins. In event viewer no warning / error logs related disks.

We are not sure this is normal behaviour.

Regards,

Anand

I have not tested it in real time. Are you getting a better rate with a different stroage? 

Also, were you doing a full format of the volume ?
