Hello,
I have been searching through web about disk shredding of DS8000 but could not find a satisfactory solution. Does IBM offer a tool in order to wipe all storage box ? Since I am retiring our old box I am asked to ensure that all data is deleted on the box.
I am looking for a internal solution provided by storage controller. I don't want to create volumes, map them and format them.
Regards,
Niyazi

If you have the latest firmware/micro code, you get the feature called Secure Data Overwrite, that will help.
You can find more information in the redbook - http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248886.pdf
Search for Secure Data Overwrite and you should end up in chapter 1.4.10 at page 18 (page 40 in the PDF)
But note:
Tip: The secure overwrite functionality is offered as a service exclusively and is not
intended for use by clients, IBM Business Partners, or IBM field support personnel.
