Dell-Seagate SAS SED drives need to be wiped, but I do not have the DDP | ST application to install on PE R710.
Perc-6i host see these 4 - 500 GB SAS as in error, and the only "available tasks" are blink/unBlink. The doc says I should have an option here to erase / wipe the drive, but no option displayed or available. Also tried to use OMSA, and same problem : no erase or wipe option exposed in tha gui.
Tried various outside utilities : Seagate win and dos tools, as well as their disk wizard, Tried gpartid also.
I thank you all ahead for any suggestion or work-arounds. Rick
