To Scrub Disks

Scrubbing disks before using them in an I-Fabric is optional. However, doing so helps to speed up snapshot time and reduces the size of the compressed image. Scrubbing disks also provides additional security. Perform the following steps to scrub all disks before using them in an I-Fabric:

Steps

1. Gather the disk IDs of all newly added disks by typing:

   disk -l|grep local|grep NEW

2. Scrub each disk by typing:

   diskscrub -d disk-ID

3. Set the state of the disk to FREE by typing:

   disk -s FREE disk ID
