swFSDriveFormatType

Module: FILE-SYSTEM-MIB

OID (symbolic): FILE-SYSTEM-MIB::swFSDriveFormatType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.14.2.2.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Use to select format type: fast: clear the file and directory information in the partion header. full: clear the file and directory information in the partion header and the all data sectors in the partion. full-with-mbr: clear all data sectors in the disk ( or on the storage drive) and rebuild the partion information.

What is swFSDriveFormatType?

A read-write setting that chooses how thoroughly to format the selected drive: fast(1) only clears the partition header's file/directory info, full(2) also zeroes all data sectors in the partition, and full-with-mbr(3) wipes the entire disk and rebuilds the partition table. Admins pick full-with-mbr(3) when recovering a corrupted or previously foreign-formatted drive, and fast(1) for a routine quick wipe.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.14.2.2.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FILE-SYSTEM-MIB::swFSDriveFormatType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.14.2.2.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FILE-SYSTEM-MIB::swFSDriveFormatType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.14.2.2.4.1 i <value>
