Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted. It is too bad that one has to go round about way of accomplishing this. An argument to the spares_zero command would do the trick.
I have few disks (now spares) that used to belong to a volume that was destroyed, however, I MUST zero out any data from these disks before they can leave our premises.
take a look at "disk sanitize" in newer ontap versions. This is more like the security erase function that (it seems like) you want.
