Re: IBM TS7720 Secure Data Erase

[Toni Cecil]

Hi Tom,
I guess you need:

FC 4017 Cluster Cleanup can be run. FC 4017 is required if the removed
cluster is going to be reused. A Cluster Cleanup removes the previous data
from cache and
returns the cluster to a usable state, similar to a new TS7700 from
manufacturing, keeping the
existing feature codes in place. Both feature codes are one-time use
features.

In terms of cache, you can only delete lvols with Purge from the z/OS side,
scratch on RMM (or on other tape mgmt), scratch on TCDB and if the library
on ISMF has  eject=PURGE than execute the ejects cmds.

HTH, A.Cecilio

Is the internal encryption already on it?

[Roach, Dennis]

Check with your vendor or CE. Most vendors have the ability for the CE to do a 
secure erase that meets most requirements.
I had to excess a virtual tape system that did not support the erase. We wound 
up pulling the drives and send them to be shredded.

One of my clients is retiring an old TS7720 and wants to guarantee the residual 
data is completely erased before it leaves the premises.

Can someone out there tell me if the "Secure Data Erase" feature works with 
internal hard drives as the physical media, as well as with take cartridges?

Thanks in advance,
