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.
You can interrupt (stop) the running shredding processes. To perform an urgent procedure while shredding is running, first interrupt the shredding job.
Note: You can shred up to 300 volumes at a time
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.
-
From the dashboard, click the Storage System (
) icon, click a storage system tile to open the detail window, then
click Volumes.

The volume has the status Shredding in the Volumes window.
