Fixing iMac disk settings

I was trying to reset my IMac to factory settings and accidentally ended up erasing Macintosh HD I ended up reinstalling the OS on the SDD using the terminal I’m not sure of that is correct but now the internal HDD is unformatted is there a way to restore the Macintosh HD or at least back to factory disk settings?

Based upon the description above, it appears this computer contains a Fusion Drive that was Split.


Then, the re-installation was assigned to the SSD portion of the computer making the Rotational Drive not-functional.


How to fix a split Fusion Drive should re-join the Rotation drive to the SSD drive and thusly a full and working Fusion Drive
