CMMVC8485E: The command cannot be initiated because the drive that you have specified has not been formatted with the correct protection information scheme.

Explanation

The drive has not been formatted to the correct protection information scheme (Type 2), so initialization cannot be performed. This usually implies a process step has been missed during the manufacturing of the drive.

User Response

If you are confident that you have no data on the drive, use chdrive -task format <drive_id> to reformat the drive to the correct protection information scheme. Then, retry the command.
