has no way of knowing if the command actually completed at the drive level.
The DCO state should be manually verified after the reboot is complete and
before subsequent jobs are started.
4.6.2.4 Wiping destination or accessory drives
The Wipe media utility provides six wipe types for destination and accessory drives.
The table below provides detailed information on each type of supported wipe.
Note: If an HPA/DCO/AMA configuration is present on a drive that you
intend to wipe and you want to wipe the entire drive (not just the exposed
portion), select the Remove Sector Limitations function in the Reconfigure
setup screen along with the Wipe function prior to starting the Reconfigure job.
Caution
Wiping drives results in sustained writing of the media, which can create
abnormally high thermal operating conditions inside the drive. OpenText
highly recommends using a fan or an external drive cooler when wiping
media on TD4 to help prevent thermal damage to drives.
Option Description
Overwrite Single Pass: TD4 will write a constant pattern (all zeros) to
the drive in a single pass. Verification is optional.
Multiple Pass: TD4 performs three full write passes to the
destination or accessory drive. The first pass writes zeros
(0x0000) and the second pass writes ones (0xFFFF), and the
third pass writes a randomly selected constant value between
0x0001 and 0xFFFE. Verification is optional. If enabled, it can
be configured to verify after each wipe pass or after only the
last pass.
