If you use HP 3PAR OS 3.1.1 MU2 (and only MU2) with Windows Server 2012, you need to run following command for both NTFS and REFS filesystem types. After that you will be able to do quick format on disk.

fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 1

When you finish your quick format on disk, then you can re-enable with following command:

fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0

These steps are not required with later versions of HP 3PAR OS with Windows Server 2012.
