Configuring Storage : Secure Erase

Secure Erase

Firmware supports the standard security erase unit of Nytro Flash module. The standard security erase unit method clears the map entries. Military and Expanded erase are not supported.

Shutdown or Restart During Active Erase Operation

If the system restarts when erase is active, Nytro cache drive comes in a locked state, that is, security feature set is enabled and Secure Erase does not resume after system restart.

Use the following command for secure erase operation:

MegaCli -PDInstantSecureErase -PhysDrv[E0:S0,E1:S1,...] | [-Force] -aN|-a0,1,2|-aALL

MegaCli -LDMakeSecure -Lx|-L0,1,2,...|-Lall -aN|-a0,1,2|-aALL
