1.3 Secure Erasing a Storage Device
This task provides instructions for performing a Secure Erase on an OpenFlex Data24 storage device using
NVMe-CLI.
Before you begin: The Secure Erase feature provides the following options for securely erasing the storage
device:
•No Secure Erase – initializes the number of storage pools on the device
•User Data Secure Erase – deletes the mapping table and all user content present on the device
•Crypto Secure Erase – deletes the encryption key, making the data unrecoverable
This procedure assumes prior knowledge of the device names that will be deleted.
Step 1 : From a terminal, use NVMe-CLI to issue a format command to the target drive. Use the --ses
command modifier with a value set to 2 (crypto secure erase).
nvme format /dev/<device ID> --namespace-id=1 --ses=2
1. This value is the original date of product manufacture. For the specific manufacture date of your platform, check the
agency label attached to the platform. There will be a 4 digit date code on that label.

Note: Crypto Secure Erase may not be available on all drives.
Step 2 : Verify data cannot be accessed by attempting reads to the drive. The data that exists on the
drive will no longer be accessible, because the encryption key has been deleted.
