Short of having the array reinitialized, I don't think there is any way to "mass destroy" LUNs.

Probably your best bet would be to script something with NaviSecCLI that you can feed the LUN IDs to.

I hope so, I am putting together the project plan for the final shutdown and so I won't know until I try it.

Once you take them out of the storage group, can't you highlight multiple LUNs and select unbind ?

It's looking like we will be getting it ready for a reseller so I am assuming we would want to wipe it clean at this point.

Thanks Allen. So if I want to completely reintialize the array, what do I do?

Is the array being completely decommissioned, or shipped elsewhere for reuse?

If it is a total decommission, you may want to consider just leaving it as is and engaging EMC to do a certified wipe of the array. That will certainly take care of it for you, as well as making it safe to dispose of however you like.

If it is going to a reseller I highly recommend getting it wiped clean and certified. If you don't you run the risk of your data being recovered and showing up where you least expect (or desire).

I've never seen a process for this, but I suspect it is something you would have to have a CE do for you.

PS or CE will come out onsite with a secure erasure kit. It's a laptop connected to SPs ..where they PXE boot SPs and run multiple passes erasing the drives. We don’t' have to return our arrays so we shred our drives.

That's ok, thanks Aran!
