Unable to format the MSA 2060 FC volume on the initiator server.

[KKishore]

Dear Team,

We have an MSA 2060 FC storage with a single disk group consisting of 10 disks and a RAID 6 configuration. Three separate volumes, each 30 TB, were created and are visible on the initiator server. However, when I attempt to initialize and create a simple volume with the NTFS format, an  error appears, "incorrect function", and the file system is currently showing as RAW.

Additionally, I created a 50GB test volume, which I successfully formatted with NTFS and is functioning correctly. But when I try to format the 30TB volume, it fails. I kindly request your support with this issue.

Thanks

When formatting, select GPT and not MBR.

Hi @Cali ,

I have selected as GPT only, but still its not working.

If you’ve already selected GPT and the issue persists, the problem likely lies in either the formatting process or a compatibility mismatch between the MSA 2060 storage and your operating system.
