System Erase And Reset Options - HPE ProLiant User Manual

Isolate devices that are not erased and use other methods to delete the data, or securely dispose of the devices according to your
organization security policies.
Using System Erase and Reset Using System Erase and Reset
Use System Erase and Reset to clear hard drives and Intelligent Provisioning Preferences.
In this mode, Intelligent Provisioning software overwrites data on the drives using the guidelines from DoD 5220.22-M, which is similar to
the NIST description of clearing data. All block devices attached to the system are overwritten by applying random patterns in a three-pass
process. These block devices include drives attached to the server. Depending on the amount of storage installed on a system, the overwrite
process can take many hours or even days to complete. Use this method to select and erase drives on the system that didn't support the
native sanitize methods used by One-button secure erase.
