Procedure overview
You erase a secured drive to permanently remove all security attributes from the drive, including a lost
or forgotten passphrase. For example, if you replace a drive and the replacement drive is secured with a
passphrase for a Security Key on a different controller, the new RAID controller cannot access or secure
the drive. You must erase the replacement drive to remove the security attributes and then secure it using
the key from the current RAID controller.
Caution:
When you erase a drive all of its data is lost.
