Mike you should try
disk sanitize start [-p pattern1|-r [-p pattern2|-r [-p pattern3|-r]]] [-c number_of_cycles] disk_list
disk sanitize start [-p pattern|-r [-p pattern|-r [-p pattern|-r]]] [-c cycles] disk_list Used to start the sanitization process on the disks listed. The -p option defines the byte pattern(s) and the number of write passes in each cycle. The -r option may be used to generate a write of random data, instead of a defined byte pattern. If no patterns are specified, the default is 3 using pattern 0x55 on the first pass, 0xaa on the second, and 0x3c on the third. The -c option specifies the number of cycles ofpattern writes. The default is 1 cycle. All sanitization process information is written to the log file at /etc/sanitization.log. The serial numbers of all sanitized disks are written to /etc/sanitized_disks.

We will be retiring a NetApp filer soon and are required to sanitize storage devices. Is there a command that will sanitize the disks, preferably by overwriting the data?
Thanks,
