Deleting the Data in the Target Volume

To execute a shredding operation to delete data from volumes:

1. Make sure that Remote Web Console is in Modify mode.

For detailed information about Modify mode, see the HP XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web

Console User Guide.

2. Check the table in the Customized Volume window (“Customized Volume Window” (page 24))

to make sure that the target volumes are in Blocked status (if necessary, scroll the table to the

right to view the status).

If the status of the volumes is not Blocked, change the status to Blocked (see “Preparing to Use

Volume Shredder” (page 21)).

3. Select the target volumes in the LDEV table in the Customized Volume window (“Customized

Volume Window” (page 24)), and right-click and select Shredding. A message appears.

4. Click OK to close the message. The information about the target volumes is shown in blue

bold italics.

5. Click Apply. The Shredding Data Output dialog box appears; data has not yet been deleted

from the volumes.

6. Use the Shredding Data Output dialog box to specify how Volume Shredder will save

information about the result of shredding the volumes. When specifying it, see the following

instructions:

• To save the result of shredding a volume, you must ensure that the volume is displayed

in the object Volume list. If the volume is not displayed in the list, select the volume from

the non-object Volume list, and then click Add. The volume will be added to the object

Volume list.

The object Volume list can only contain up to three volumes.

• If you do not want to save the result of shredding a volume, you must ensure that the

volume is not displayed in the object Volume list. If the volume is displayed in the list,

select the volume from the object Volume list, and then click Delete. The volume will be

deleted from the object Volume list, and moved to the non-object Volume list.

7. Click OK in the Shredding Data Output dialog box. A message appears asking if you want

to apply the settings.

8. Click OK to close the message. The shredding operation begins. During the shredding

operation, a message box opens.

CAUTION: After you click Cancel on the message box, the shredding operation stops. You

cannot restart the shredding operation, and the contents of the volume are not guaranteed.

If you click Close on the message box, the shredding operation continues. However, you will

be unable to download the file containing the result of the shredding operation. To download

the file, do not click Close. Wait until the message box disappears.

If you click Close and want to confirm whether the shredding operation has successfully finished,

check whether the Status column of the table in the Customized Volume window shows Normal.

9. When the shredding operation is finished, a confirmation dialog box for completion of the

shredding operation is displayed. To download the file that contains the result of the shredding

operation, go to step 10. If you do not need to download the file, go to step 12.

10. Click Export. A dialog box appears, which allows you to select where to download the file.
