John,

==========================
…we are expanding our storage by about 1.5TB and moving to a DMX3…
…as part of this process EMC is stating that we need to do a
REFORMAT VTOC across our farm…
…have not been able to pin the whys and hows down…
…might someone have the whys and hows?
==========================

It's likely that this is insurance against volumes that don't conform to
the conventional physical layout, particularly where alternate tracks are
concerned.

Michael
