system --init --secure_erase <1–pass/3-passes/7-passes>

Description

Secure Erase is a process for securely deleting data that follows standards developed by the Defense Security Service (DSS). These standards were developed to solve the problem of secure and permanent removal of data, and this capability is now used by many commercial enterprises. These standards require multiple passes to erase data. In the process of erasing, the system overwrites data with zeros, a random pattern of data, or ones (1s) to make the original contents unreadable.

In the DR Series system, two modes of secure erase have been adopted: 3-pass and 7-pass standards. This command securely erases all data with a 3-pass or 7-pass mode and runs during system initialization. This command erases all of the stored data while keeping the system in tact.

Syntax

system --init --secure_erase 3-passes
system --init --secure_erase 1-pass
system --init --secure_erase 7-passes

system --reboot

Description

Reboots a DR Series system when you provide the required “administrator” password for the system.

Syntax

system --reboot

Result

Please enter administrator password:
Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Wed Jun 20 11:00:58 2012): 
The system is going down for reboot NOW!

system --shutdown

Description

Shuts down a DR Series system when you use this command and provide the required password.

Caution: The system --shutdown command powers off the appliance on which the DR Series system software is installed. Once the appliance is in a powered off state, you may only be able to power on the appliance in two ways: at its physical location, or by using an iDRAC connection on the network.

Syntax

system --shutdown

Result

Please enter administrator password:
Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Wed Oct 20 11:00:58 2012): 
The system is being shutdown NOW!

system --upgrade

Description

Upgrades the version of the DR Series system software installed on a supported DR Series hardware appliance.

Syntax

system --upgrade

NOTE: To obtain the latest DR Series system upgrade image, go to the Support website (support.quest.com/DR-Series), enter your service tag or select your product, and download the latest DR Series system software upgrade image file to the local system using WinSCP.

NOTE: Prior to performing a DR Series system CLI-based upgrade, make sure to download the DR Series system upgrade image. To initiate a DR Series system software upgrade for Windows users using the DR Series system CLI, the system software upgrade image file (in tar.gz format) is validated by the DR Series system, renamed to DRSeries_payload.tar.gz, and transferred to a directory/store location known to the DR Series system.

When you use the DR Series system CLI system --upgrade command, the DR Series system looks in this known directory/store location for the DRSeries_payload.tar.gz file, and starts the system software upgrade process.

NOTE: If the SSH session is lost for any reason during the upgrade process, this loss terminates the SSH session and also terminates the upgrade process that was running. If this SSH session loss occurs during an upgrade process and results in a terminated session, you should reboot the DR Series system and retry the system software upgrade process.
