SYNOPSIS
Erase Configure
Erase Show
Erase Abort
DESCRIPTION
The non-certified disk erasure enables you to erase the Configuration, Data and Fencing disks on the appliance shared storage. When you erase a 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 all the disks on the appliance shared storage. You can specify a pass algorithm for overwriting the data on the disks.
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 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.
- 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 all the disks.
Aborting a disk erasure operation results in the corruption of all data on the disk. Once the data is corrupted, it cannot be recovered.
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.
