You can erase selective system information by using
the Lifecycle Controller Repurpose or Retire System option. This feature permanently deletes server and storage-related
data on selected components of a server before you repurpose or retire
a server. The selected components are then returned to their default
state.
NOTE: The Repurpose or Retire System option resets the state of
the inventory collection to Enabled, and then
permanently deletes the iDRAC and BIOS configuration information,
factory-shipped inventory, configurations, Lifecycle Log information
(historical data and work notes), backup image file, non-volatile
(NV) cache, vFlash card, operating system driver packs, and diagnostics.
During this operation, it deletes the hardware and software inventory
data related to the system. However, they are recreated during the
next restart of the server. It also deletes the firmware and previous
versions, which will not be available for firmware rollback
NOTE:
The Repurpose or Retire System feature is supported on the 12th generation PowerEdge servers with
iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller version 2.10.10.10 or later. You can
use this feature on selective components. Whereas, on the 12th generation
of PowerEdge servers with iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller version 2.05.05.05
or earlier, this feature is supported only on the entire system and
not selective components.
The Repurpose or Retire System feature does not allow deletion of iDRAC-related license information.
PERC NV cache and vFlash card are displayed only if
PERC and vFlash cards are available on the server.
Use this feature to delete any sensitive data and configuration-related
information when you need to:
Retire a managed system.
Reuse a managed system for a different application.
