Erase Utility

CAUTION: Perform a backup before running the System Erase Utility. The utility sets the system to its original factory state, deletes the current hardware configuration information, including array setup and disk partitioning, and erases all connected hard drives completely. Refer to the instructions for using this utility.

Use the Erase Utility to erase hard drives and Active Health System logs, and to reset RBSU settings. Run the Erase Utility if you must erase the system for the following reasons:

●You want to install a new operating system on a server with an existing operating system.

●You encounter an error when completing the steps of a factory-installed operating system installation.

To access the Erase Utility, click the Perform Maintenance icon from the Intelligent Provisioning home screen, and then select Erase.

Run the Erase utility to:

●Do not erase — does not erase hard drive operations.

●Reset — erases the master boot record for the hard drives so they are no longer bootable.

●Secure erase —performs an overwrite pattern erase so no data is recoverable.

After selecting the appropriate option, click Erase Selected. A Confirm Erase window is displayed, prompting you to confirm or cancel the Erase.
