Configuring data erasure

Use the shell menu to configure the data erasure.

To configure data erasure:

  1. Log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale Appliance Shell Menu.
  2. From the system view, run the following command:

    system storage erase-disks configure

    Enter Yes to continue.

    The options for the pass algorithm are displayed.

    Note:

    You can no longer use the data after you start erasing the disks.

  3. Enter the pass algorithm to use.
  4. A summary of the configuration and the estimated time for erasing each disk is displayed. Enter Yes to proceed.

    After you start the data erasure, you can use the system storage erase-disks show command to monitor the progress.
