This example assumes that the capacity of the FMD is 1,600 GB, the RAID configuration is 3D+1P, and the LDEV capacity is 880 GB.
  1. Calculate the number of times to overwrite the data:
    [(1,600 x 3) x 2] / 880 = 10.9 = 11 times
    Round up the value (10.9) to the nearest whole number. You need to overwrite the data 11 times.
  2. Define the shredding settings.
    Refer to Defining shredding conditions, select the Data Pattern (User Setting) list and Random Data, then click Add eight times.
  3. Erase the volume data.
    Refer to Defining shredding conditions for procedures on erasing the volume data.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, three more times, clicking Add three times.
