Erase Media

To erase media, perform the following procedure:

1. Click Erase.

   The Erase dialog appears.

   Notes:
   Slots with write-protected media appear in red. These media cannot be erased until the write protect tab is removed. Slots reserved for cleaning media do not appear.
   
   File System Devices (FSD) that are part of a staging group cannot be erased using the Erase toolbar button. To prevent accidental erasing of staged data from an FSD prior to it being migrated to a final destination media, the Erase toolbar button on the Device Manager window is disabled. If you want to erase the data from the FSD, you can either use the command line (ca_devmgr) or disable the staging option for the selected FSD.

2. Highlight the media you want to erase.

   The light icon next to selected media is green.

3. Select Quick Erase, Quick Erase Plus, or Long Erase, then click OK.

   A message box appears, asking you to confirm the operation.

4. Click OK to confirm the operation.
