Destroy all Storage Groups, Destroy all LUNs - Then reconfigure the LUNs - the binding of new LUN will ensure that the old data is completely gone as Flare re-initializes the space. Please refer to the EMC Primus solution emc87647. I have seen customers to take out the disks and re-arrange their physical location within same type of DAE - but please do not alter the Flare Disks (Disk 0 to 5 on the first enclosure) as it may cause the array in unusable condition.
However the best way to destroy the data securely is to available the data eraser service available from EMC - which is called "Certified Data Erasure for CLARiiON" - Model Number: PS-BAS-CXDE. Please contact your local EMC team for the same. You may also explore more on this on Powerlink per the following navigation -

Hope this helps,
