Gen10 MicroSD erasure

Mike Texter — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 17:40:15 GMT

I've got a few BL460cGen10 blades here with 32gb HPE branded MicroSD cards installed, trouble is that one came with some SimpliVity software installed on it, and I don't see a way to erase or reset the microSD card so it doesn't boot to that. Do I just overwrite it with my OS? Can I format it with a microSD reader on a windows laptop for example? Why is there no built-in utility to erase this?

Hi @Mike Texter,

Odd that this card shipped with Simplivity software attached, I am assuming you are not installing this software correct?

You can indeed format the card without any repercussions. The default utility would generally be a factory reset.

Let me know if you have any further questions..

It's 2026 and there's still no way to remotely wipe a microSD on a ProLiant, without third-party tools
