deviceFormatMedium
Module: ITOUCH-BOOT-SERVER-MIB
OID (symbolic): ITOUCH-BOOT-SERVER-MIB::deviceFormatMedium
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.33.6.1.13.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Control to cause formatting of the medium in the device. In response to a get-request or get-next-request, the agent always returns 'ready' for this value. Setting the value to 'ready' has no effect. Setting it to 'execute' causes the device to be formatted. Corresponds directly to the FORMAT
DEVICE command.
What is deviceFormatMedium?
A write-only trigger that formats the medium in a device: setting 'execute' starts formatting (equivalent to the FORMAT DEVICE command), while 'ready' has no effect and reads always show 'ready'. An admin preparing a new or corrupted drive for use would set this to execute to wipe and format it.
