We are disposing of several 8690 modules as we have upgraded to 8692s. We want to erase the flash memory on them before disposing of them. Anyone know of a way to clear the onboard flash on an 8690?

Thanks!

I think format-flash is what you'll want, although like a format command for hard drives it probably only erases the file system's index.

As a side note: the 8690s will run current code if you upgrade their memory - they won't support R-series blades though. When we upgraded from 8691s I kept a couple for our test lab.

anthonyanderbeg,

Thanks for the info. I was hoping there was a pair of jumpers on the board itself that I could connect to clear the flash. I have 80+ 8690s to clear after a recent major upgrade.
