LOCAL DISKS ERASING MECHANISM FOR POOLED PHYSICAL RESOURCES

The invention provides a local disks erasing mechanism for pooled physical resources. A network system is directed to the efficient management of computer resources, including removal of unused objects within a network system. The network system includes a plurality of processing nodes, where each processing node includes physical storage and a compute node. The compute node is configured to perform operations including receiving a signal to reboot in erase mode; reconfiguring, by a management controller associated with the compute node, the compute node to boot up in the erase mode; and rebooting in erase mode and performing an erase of the at least one processing node. 本发明提供种存储物理资源的本地磁盘抹除机制。网络系统关于计算机资源的有效管理，包含在网络系统内的未用物件的移除。上述网络系统包含多个处理节点，而每处理节点则包含物理存储器及计算节点。上述计算节点被设定以执行操作，包含在抹除模式下接收信号以重启动，藉由与计算节点相关联的管理控制器重新设定该计算节点，使其在上述抹除模式下启动，以及在抹除模式下重启动并执行上述至少处理节点的抹除。
