VTL700 Nearstore Disk sanitization procedure

jfuller1975 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:41:29 GMT

Does anyone here have experience zeroing disks in a VTL700? I realize it is an older product EOL/EOS, but couldn't find any info anywhere. The licensed feature available in DoT hardware is not available.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help, but unfortunately this documentation mentions nothing of a process or method to sanitize system, nor a command for the purpose of deleting RAID groups. Not surprisng considering how poorly supported this device was since the time of release.

Thanks,

Josh
