Erasing PCIe SSD device data using RACADM To securely erase a PCIe SSD device: racadm storage secureerase: To create the target job after executing the secureerase command: racadm jobqueue create -s TIME_NOW -e To query the job ID returned: racadm jobqueue view -i For more information, see the iDRAC RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals. Managing enclosures or backplanes You can perform the following for enclosures or backplanes: • View properties • Configure universal mode or split mode • View slot information (universal or shared) • Set SGPIO mode Related concepts Summary of supported features for storage devices Supported enclosures Configuring backplane mode Viewing universal slots Setting SGPIO mode Configuring backplane mode The Dell 13th generation PowerEdge servers supports a new internal storage topology, where two storage controllers (PERCs) can be connected to a set of internal drives through a single expander. This configuration is used for high performance mode with no failover or High Availability (HA) functionality. The expander splits the internal drive array between the two storage controllers. In this mode, virtual disk creation only displays the drives connected to a particular controller. There are no licensing requirements for this feature. This feature is supported only on a few systems. Backplane supports the following modes: • Unified mode -This is the default mode. The primary PERC controller has access to all the drives connected to the backplane even if a second PERC controller is installed. • Split mode - One controller has access to the first 12 drives and the second controller has access to the last 12 drives. The drives connected to the first controller are numbered 0-11 while the drives connected to the second controller are numbered 12-23. • Split mode 4:20 - One controller has access to the first 4 drives and the second controller has access to the last 20 drives. The drives connected to the first controller are numbered 0-3 while the drives connected to the second controller are numbered 4-23. Managing storage devices 209
