Name
Main > Manage > Storage > Erase — Used to manage the non-certified disk erasure process.
SYNOPSIS
Erase Configure
Erase Show
Erase Abort
DESCRIPTION
The non-certified disk erasure enables you to erase any storage disks on the appliance. When you erase a storage disk, all the data stored on the disk is destroyed and cannot be recovered.
The command enables you to manage the non-certified disk erasure process as follows:
Configure disk erasure to erase one or more disks at a time. You can specify a pass algorithm for overwriting the data on the disk.
For more information about the pass algorithm, see the NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide.
View disk erasure tasks in progress. You can also view the disk erasure history for each storage disk on the appliance.
Abort the disk erasure operation.
OPTIONS
- Erase Configure
Configure the disk erasure to erase one or more disk at a time. The command shows relevant information such as disk ID, storage shelf location, and storage partition distribution to help you determine which disks to erase.
Configure disk erasure to erase all the disks on the appliance shared storage. This command requires you to enter the pass algorithm to be used. The available options are 1, 3, and 7.
This command requires you to do the following in two steps.
Enter your selection of storage disks to erase.
Enter the pass algorithm to be used. The available options are 1, 3, and 7.
- Erase Show
View the disk erasure tasks in progress. You can also view the disk erasure history for each storage disk on the appliance.
- Erase Abort
Abort the disk erasure operation for a disk.
Aborting a disk erasure operation results in the corruption of all data on the disk. Once the data is corrupted, it cannot be recovered.
When you are prompted, enter the task ID that corresponds to the disk for which you want to abort the disk erasure operation. Use a comma-separated list if you want to abort multiple tasks.
Note:
When you abort a disk erasure operation, any erasure progress on the disk is lost. You must configure disk erasure again to erase the disk.
