I am looking for a fast way to erase (DESTROY) all of the data on a 3390-3 logical drive on a RAMAC 3. Following is a description of what we have tried. Thanks for any info.
We attempting to erase all of the data on a RAMMAC 3. We have used the INIT command with the VALIDATE PURGE parameters as well the TRKFMT UNITADDRESS(0169) VERIFY(DBC169) ERASEDATA - FROMRANGE(0,0) TOLERATE(ENQFAIL) CYCLES(1) Both were slower than molasses. It took 3 hours (wall time) to erase a volume. We have 500 volumes to erase.
