SANtricity 11.9 Commands ( CA08871-194 ~ 196 )

Start drive erase

The start drive erase command erases all of the data from one or more drives.

Supported Series

This command applies to an individual ETERNUS AB/HB series array.

Roles

To execute this command on the ETERNUS AB/HB series storage system, you must have the Security Admin role.

Context

Run this command only if you want to permanently remove all data on a drive. If the drive is secure-enabled, the start drive erase command option performs a cryptographic erase and resets the drive’s security attributes back to secure-capable.

The erase operation cannot be undone. Make sure you select the correct drive when using this command.

Syntax

Parameters

Parameter Description

drive

For high-capacity drive trays, specify the tray ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value for the drive. For low-capacity drive trays, specify the tray ID value and the slot ID value for the drive. Tray ID values are 0 to 99. Drawer ID values are 1 to 5.

All slot ID maximums are 24. Slot ID values either begin at 0 or 1, depending on the tray model. Drive trays compatible with ETERNUS AB2100, ETERNUS HB1100/HB1200, ETERNUS HB2100/HB2200/HB2300, and ETERNUS HB5100/HB5200 controllers have slot ID numbers starting at 0.

Enclose the tray ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value in square brackets ([ ]).

The drives list cannot contain all of the drives in the storage system, or the command will be rejected.
