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.
