I have a bad WAAS that I needed to replace. Due to some security policies, I need to wipe out the contents on hard-disks before sending it back to Cisco. By any chance, does any know the appropriate WAAS CLI command?
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,
You can use the command "WAE# disk delete-partitions

Thanks for your inputs and suggestions Daniel!!!. I will test the command in lab.
Question - once the disk is wiped out clean, if I want to reuse the disk, do I need to rebuild the disk "partition"? If yes, how? and what are the commands?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
I tried the command "disk delete-partitions
After WAAS was reloaded, the disk was wiped clean, however, I also got below messages, should I be concerned?
Do I need to re-install "disk based software", if yes, how? Thanks! Joe

It turned out, i needed to use rescure cd to reinstall the disk based software on waas. After it had done, waas and harddisk were up and running.
Thanks

Does the suggested command - disk delete-partitions, actually delete the data on the disk (i.e. over write it with 0's or a pattern) or just delete the partitions from the partition table?
