Thanks for the comments here, appreciate the activity. I created an "EMC internal" request a few months back, which didn't go far, but just added that the competition can do it, CLARiiON can do it, and that customers are requesting this via enhancement request. I'll champion that request as the Lead Specialsit for EMEA on Symmetrix, will try to update this thread as we go on.....  Alasdair, EMC Lead Specialist, CSS EMEA
We'vre had a whole batch of LUNs de-allocated fromm some servers, and they've been unmapped and unmasked. We're wanting to wipe the data on them, prior to reuse. I'm aware EMC support can wipe a device, but I'm ... not entirely sure if I can do it, using Solutions Enabler. I can map all these devices to a proxy host, format them, and move on (formatting is ok, we don't need secure wipes or anything), but before starting doing this with a couple of hundred devices, thought I'd see if there was a better way?
Can I wipe a Symmetrix device without presenting it to a host?
