Should work, he has an iron fist... ;-)
Apology to Timothy, just a little word play since this is not Friday today.

Thanks for the warning on degaussing Timothy! I appreciate it! We chose not
to use encryption, why I'm not sure. If there's a next time, that'll happen!

Not sure if turning on ERASE on SCRATCH in RACF - and then deleting the
datasets would work? Just a thought?

Depending on the VTL, you should be able to access the underlaying operating
system (normally some form of unix) via the command line or terminal access and
simply reformat the data partitions on the hard drive(s). I know this can be
done on Optica, and Luminex and IBM's TS77xx, I am assuming
Maybe I missed a post but, what ‘VTL’ are you running?
IBM has a feature code that a CE can order that will do a data erase on the
library, cache and disk. The physical backend tapes would need to be certified
destroyed. Iron Mountain can do that for you.
Just my 2 cents

Once all the tapes are deleted by writing to all 50K, you just have to
write as many volumes as needed to fill VTS. The large the dataset,
the fewer the volumes.

We had 30K free of 500K tapes. 288TB.

Depending on the connection technology of the disks, you might be able to
remove them from the VTL,
That's a big order. There are 50,000 virtual tapes defined in the system...

Overwrite each tape with a one track dataset of low values.
Then overwrite tapes with a very large dataset of low values until VTS is full.
Repeat one track / large datasets with high values and b'01010101'.
Repeat the 3 cycles until desired number of overwrites are accomplished.

There's a whole lot of datasets to go through to do the ERASE function.
Since the hardware maintenance was contracted out to SMS, yes I've asked
the question and they just notified me that they pushed the question up to
there support team.
Physical destruction was an option we considered, but

The School District of Palm Beach County is finally shutting down the IBM
z10 and all its components.
I was wondering if any member the listserve can help me with "wiping out"
out VTL. Any help will be greatly appreciate
