Hi All,
I need to wipe/scrub a whole lot of LTO5 tapes that are currently all part of a TSM 6.3.4 system. I know I can delete the volume data off of them in TSM but that doesn't actually scrub or wipe the tapes securely to my knowledge.
I played around with the Shred option and it seems to only support random access disks?
How does one securely multi-pass wipe an LTO5 tape and have it still be usable? (rules de-gaussing out as far as LTO goes)
The tape library is a Dell ML6030 and does not have any build in method to accomplish this. I have also been looking at possibly trying ITDT from IBM but would rather just do it natively in TSM.
