Nancy, I believe the ICKDSF TRKFMT command will do what you need. It has an Erase parameter.

I have a DS8100 that we are decommissioning and using as a trade-in. We need to make sure that all the data on this system is erased before we ship it off. Do any of you have any thoughts on how to accomplish this at little or no expense? Has anyone already dealt with this issue? Thanks!
