Failure to Instant Secure Erase Task on Physical Disks
Instant Secure Erase is the process of securely erasing all data permanently on
an encryption-capable physical disk and resetting the security attributes. It is
used in a couple of scenarios such as deleting a foreign configuration in the
event of a forgotten or lost passphrase or unlocking a disk that had been
previously locked.
Instant Secure Erase can be executed only on encryption-capable disks as long
as the disks are not hot spares and are not configured (part of a virtual disk).
Ensure that the conditions are met and see "Instant Secure Erase" on
page 105.
