NOTE: If SEKM is enabled on the server, then disable SEKM using the racadm sekm disable command before using
this command. This can avoid any storage devices being locked out which are secured by iDRAC, if SEKM settings are
erased from iDRAC by executing this command.
For more information, see the iDRAC RACADM CLI Guide available at https://www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
NOTE: The Dell tech center link appears on the iDRAC GUI on Dell branded systems. If you erase system data by using
WSMan command and want the link to appear again, reboot the host manually and wait for CSIOR to run.
NOTE: After you run System Erase, the VDs may still appear. Run CSIOR after System Erase is completed and iDRAC is
rebooted.
