5. Confirm the Result in the Shredding Data pattern table.
Check the contents to verify whether all the overwriting operations have ended normally.
If an overwriting pass ends abnormally, shredding was not successful. If shredding fails, try
to shred the volume again. If shredding fails again, contact HP Technical Support to identify
the cause of the failure.
If power to the system stops during the shredding process, the Shredding operation canceled
or Shredding operation Failed message appears.
6. Click Close in the Task Properties dialog box.
Viewing detailed results from compressed files
In the Selected LDEVs table on the Shred LDEVs window, if the Data Output column is set to YES,
the result of shredding a volume can be saved as files in the Remote Web Console computer. You
can use this file to check the results of shredding a volume.
When you open the compressed file, you will see binary and text files that contain shredding
results.
The name of the binary file indicates LDKC, CU, and LDEV numbers of the shredded volumes, and
the number of times the system wrote dummy data to the volumes. For example, if a binary file is
named 00-01 11 03.bin, the LDKC number is 00, the CU number is 01, and the LDEV number
is 11. The filename also indicates that the system wrote dummy data to that volume three times. A
binary file contains the first 512 bytes of data of a shredded volume (LDEV).
The file name of a text file appears as follows:
shred_the-finish-time-of-shredding-operation.txt
The compressed file is saved with the time zone setting of SVP. If the compressed file is
decompressed on the Remote Web Console computer, the time stamp of the decompressed file
appears with the time zone setting of the Remote Web Console computer. The time stamp of the
decompressed file might be different from the actual finish time of a shredding operation.
