Partitioning and Formatting the CE Boot Disk
You must partition and format the CE boot device on both IOP1 and IOP2. It is not necessary
to partition and format the CE non-boot devices on the IOPs; you can partition and format them
later from the CE after the CE is installed and booted.
Note: You must be in Offline Endurance I/O Processor Mode to access the CE disks
from an IOP.
To partition and format the CE boot disk, follow these steps:
