Specifications
The FormatDisk function is destructive: all data stored on the disks to be
formatted will be lost.
It is possible to format several disks in parallel. Therefore, formatting one or several
disks will take the same amount of time to complete. In order to format several disks in
parallel, call the
FormatDisk function for each disk to format without waiting between
each call. After the last call, you need to wait for the end of the formatting phase by
pooling the MDR Server status. The format operation is completed when this status
changes from
MDR_SERVER_FOMATTING_DISK to MDR_SERVER_OK.
