Any way of running Secure Erase on Drives using API?

[kenerwin88]

Hi,

First, I love everything you guys are working on! I'm currently assigned a fairly painful project, in which I need to securely wipe all of the drives at one of our datacenters (400 Physicals, each has 2+ drives). I've looked absolutely everywhere through all the HP API stuff I can find, is there any way at all of triggering the Secure Erase using the API, or this PythonAPI? It would save me a TON of time!

I found several properties on the HpSmartStorageDiskDrive object, like EraseCompletionPercentage and ErasePattern, which makes me think it's possible, but I can't find any that actually initiate the command?

Thanks in advance!

Ken

@kenerwin88 sorry for the delay didn't see this inquiry come in. Will be following up on this very shortly.

@kenerwin88 there is currently no way to do this in the API for Gen9. I will leave the issue open to help get exposure of this limitation.

Thank you very much for the update, that makes me feel better at least that I wasn't missing something :).
