NetBackup™ Flex Scale Installation and Configuration Guide

Aborting data erasure

You can abort a running data erasure operation at any time. After you abort the operation, the data on the affected disks is corrupted. The Last Erasure Status for the affected disks shows Aborted. You must configure data erasure again for all the disks if you want to complete the erasure. The data erasure operation starts anew on all the disks the next time.

To abort the data erasure

  1. Log on to the NetBackup Flex Scale Appliance Shell Menu.
  2. From the system view, run the following command:

    system storage erase-disks abort

  3. Enter Yes to abort the data erasure operation.
