-
In the Task Properties
window, view the Result column in the Shredding Data
Pattern table.
Check the contents to verify whether all the overwriting operations have been completed normally. If an overwriting pass is not completed normally, it means the shredding was not successful. If shredding fails, try shredding the volume again. If shredding fails again, contact customer support to resolve the error. If the storage system experiences a power outage during the shredding process, one of the following error messages will appear:
- Shredding operation canceled
- Shredding operation failed
