3.7 Cryptographically erase drives by using Redfish 2016
The Redfish 2016 storage APIs support the cryptographic erase of ISE, SED, and PCIe SSD (NVMe) drives.
Supported devices can be cryptographically erased by using a POST command with the target drive URI
“redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/Drives/{secure drive instance
ID}/Actions/Drive.SecureErase”.
Note: Non-ISE hard drives (HDDs) cannot be erased by using this feature. If you want to erase non-ISE
HDDs on the 14
th
generation of PowerEdge servers, you can use the System Erase function available in the
