Erasing a Disk
The Erase Disk function erases the data on a disk. When you wipe a disk, ensure that all the pools
in the target disk that span multiple disks have either been deleted or that these companion disks
are also being wiped at the same time. If this condition is not met, an error results.
To erase disks
1
Select the Show Disk Details check box, and then click Erase Disk.
2
Select the respective check boxes for the disks to be included in the wipe operation.
3
Click Quick Erase to remove only the control information from the disk. Click Full Erase to
completely erases all the data from the disk.
Notes:
The Full Erase process is very slow; the amount of time required for a full erase
depends on the size of the disk.
For the full erase operation to proceed, you must type Yes, destroy everything on
this disk in the Confirmation String box.
