Failure of Cryptographic Erase on encryption-capable hard drives

Cryptographic Erase is the process of securely erasing all data permanently on an encryption-capable hard drive and resetting the security attributes. It is used in scenarios such as deleting a foreign configuration in the event of a forgotten or lost security key, or unlocking a disk that had been previously locked.
NOTE: 12th Series and 13th Series cards do not support unlocking disks from past generations or from third-party secured configurations.

You can perform Cryptographic Erase only on encryption-capable disks that are not hot spares and not configured as non-RAID or virtual disks. Ensure that the conditions are met. See Cryptographic erase.
