Hi albatroz19
Yes there is a way to erase the contents (this is effectively what the newer appliance versions provide from the CLISH). Have a look at this article https://sort.veritas.com/public/documents/vie/7.1/aix/productguides/html/sf_admin/ch32s12s04.htm
Run at least three passes over the disks to ensure erasure. The trick is to get the volumes to a state you can execute the commands. You will need to unmount the file systems and possible destroy the volumes - the command operates on the disk (for example nbapp_disk_0 - found using the vxdisk list command).
I have done this in the past to provide a non certified erasure of the data.
