Using System Erase And Reset - Hitachi HA800 G3 Series Manual

For more information about the specification, see

NOTE: Section 2.5 of the specification describes the level of sanitization. The appendix recommends minimum
sanitization levels for media.
System Erase and Reset
The System Erase and Reset function overwrites data on drives by using the guidelines from DoD 5220.22-M. This
feature is analogous to the NIST SP 800-88 Minimum Sanitization Recommendations Revision 1 description of
clearing data. In this method, software overwrites all block devices attached to the system by applying random
patterns. This method can be used to overwrite devices that do not support One-button secure erase. For example,
use this option for drives that do not support a native sanitize method.
CAUTION: One-button secure erase and System Erase and Reset should be used with extreme caution, and only
when a system is being decommissioned or used for a different purpose. The system and iLO may reboot multiple
times until the process completes. The erase features:
• Wipe data from drives and any non-volatile/persistent storage.
• Reset iLO and delete all licenses stored there.
• Reset BIOS settings.
• Delete AHS and warranty data stored in the system.
• The processes also delete any deployment settings profiles.
• Server's Initial Device Identity (IDevID)
• Platform Certificate

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
