We would like to cleanup our 5020 appliance in our environment.
Can someone please suggest the steps to cleanup.

Hi @bsatishbabu
Wow - a 5020 appliance is at least 8 years old. If you mean "cleanup" you want to erase any data on the storage, then I suggest you look at the Storage Foundation (Veritas volume manager) commands to shred a volume. Here is an article that should point you in the right direction:

To be honest I have no idea what versions of software is installed on that appliance, so I'm not even sure it uses Veritas volume manager.
A simpler way may be just to switch off and physcially destroy the drives - as I can't imagine you want want to reuse the hardware..
Cheers

What @davidmoline said!
But if you're looking for guidance on something specific? I'd suggest providing all the details necessary about what you have, what you're running O/S and NBU versions and then state what is it exactly you are looking to "clean up".
