thresholds based on the frequency of various security-related events,
such as the following:
◆ Denied login attempts on a host
◆ Denied login attempts on the service processor
◆ Attempts to escalate privileges on Solutions Enabler
◆ Attempts to escalate privileges on the service processor
◆ Symmetrix Access Control violations
◆ Removal of physical drives
◆ Successful disk erasure events
◆ Unsuccessful disk erasure events
◆ Start of a remote file transfer between the customer environment

EMC Certified Data
Erasure for
Symmetrix Disks
Data Erasure erases data on a physical medium where the granularity
is an entire physical drive. The erasure can vary between a single pass
write of data to the drive, all the way to multi pass erasure using
complex algorithms as used in DoD 5220.22-M. The intent of secure
disk erase is to remove all recoverable user data from a given physical
drive, or report that the attempt to remove the data was unsuccessful.
Running Data Erasure Upon purchase of the EMC Certified Data Erasure for Symmetrix
Disks licence, a configuration change will be executed by the CE at
time of installation, or at a later time, to enable this feature. The EMC
Certified Data Erasure for Symmetrix Disks licence will enable the
following functions to be performed. Data Erasure will commence on
the “Not Ready” spare automatically, as long as sufficient numbers of
permanent spares exist.
Provided the secure disk erase completes successfully, this process
will allow a single CE visit to replace a failed drive with a new drive
and return the failed drive EMC. The customer may then reference
the audit log for evidence and proof of successful Data Erasure.
Note: The EMC Certified Data Erasure for Symmetrix Disks software
requires that the customers purchase a supporting service that includes the
ability to retain drives that cannot be erased.
