You can shred volumes using a shredding pattern that you create or a pre-defined pattern. You can view and find the volumes that are shredding and you can interrupt (stop) shredding processes.
You must be a storage administrator to perform shredding.
Ops Center Administrator allows you to interrupt (stop) the running shredding processes. To perform an urgent procedure while shredding is running, first interrupt the shredding job.
Note: Ops Center Administrator limits the number of volumes you can shred at any one
time to 300, because of the high load to the storage system and the long processing
time.
Ensure that:
- The volumes are unattached and are not snapshots.
- The volumes do not have capacity savings.
- Click .
The volume has the status Shredding in the Volumes window.
