I am looking for a fast way to erase (DESTROY) all of the data on a 3390-3
logical drive on a RAMAC 3. Following is a description of what we have
tried. Thanks for any info.
We attempting to erase all of the data on a RAMMAC 3. We have used the
INIT command with the VALIDATE PURGE parameters as well the
TRKFMT UNITADDRESS(0169) VERIFY(DBC169) ERASEDATA -
FROMRANGE(0,0) TOLERATE(ENQFAIL) CYCLES(1)
Both were slower than molasses. It took 3 hours (wall time) to erase a
volume. We have 500 volumes to erase. Can you help
