Caution:
When you delete a disk group all of its data on the underlying
physical disks is lost.

Delete a Security Key
Deleting a Security Key involves deleting the secured disk groups and their
virtual disks, which erases all data on the disks, and then deleting the Security
Key from the controller. You specify the passphrase when deleting the key.

You can erase a drive to permanently delete all of its data and security
attributes, such as a lost or forgotten passphrase. You cannot erase a drive
that contains secured virtual drives.
