Dell EMC Server Administrator Storage Management 9.1

Performing A Cryptographic Erase On An NVMe PCIe SSD

NOTE: The virtual disk with RAID 10 configuration cannot be created for the selected number of physical disks. Please refer OpenManage CLI guide for details.
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
NOTE: After you hot plug an NVMe PCIe SSD, the NVMe PCIe SSD may take several seconds to be displayed on Storage Management.
CAUTION: Cryptographic Erase permanently erases all data present on the disk.
Performing a Cryptographic Erase on an NVMe PCIe SSD overwrites all blocks and results in permanent loss of all data on the NVMe PCIe SSD. During Cryptographic Erase, the host is unable to access the NVMe PCIe SSD.
NOTE: If the system reboots or experiences a power loss during Cryptographic Erase, the operation is canceled. You must reboot the system and restart the process.
NOTE: On systems running the VMware vSphere (ESXi) operating system, Storage Management only performs the Cryptographic Erase task and does not report the status of the task. If the Cryptographic Erase task does not function as expected for some NVMe devices, the status is not reported or displayed on Server Administrator.
