Blancco LUN Eraser

Blancco LUN Eraser is the secure data erasure software Blancco Technology Group for Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) in active storage environments, sanitizing the logical volume without bringing down the operating system or reconfiguring the array. It runs on the installed operating system or via WinPE, by command line, erases drives reached over IDE, SCSI, fibre channel and iSCSI, and issues a signed certificate with LUN ID, port and path in Blancco Management Portal.

What is Blancco LUN Eraser?

Blancco LUN Eraser is the secure data erasure software Blancco Technology Group for Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) in active storage environments, which sanitizes the logical volume without bringing down the operating system or reconfiguring the array.

A LUN is a volume the user sees as a single unit, although its data is spread across portions of several physical drives. Blancco LUN Eraser works at that addressing level: it overwrites the data allocated on the drives that make up the volume, preserves operating system and metadata, and issues a digitally signed certificate recording LUN ID, port and path. It runs on the installed operating system or through WinPE, by command line.

That removes the need for the three poor options in enterprise storage: rebuilding the array, which causes downtime; destroying drives, which discards the cabinet's value; and plain reprovisioning, which frees space and leaves the data recoverable.

Key features

Blancco LUN Eraser is designed to operate in production, with policy-driven automation and audit evidence for every task:

  • Erasure in active environments — sanitizes the LUN keeping operating system and metadata intact, and the volume is usable again right after the process.
  • Three execution modes — automatic, semi-automatic and manual, matching the maintenance window or the internal approval required.
  • Simultaneous erasure of multiple LUNs — processes several volumes in parallel instead of manual volume-by-volume wiping.
  • Remote activation and scheduling — triggered by command line without data center presence, with email or SMS alerts on completion.
  • XML and PDF reporting — records LUN ID, port, path and system details (CPU, BIOS, motherboard) in Blancco Management Portal.
  • ITAM and ITSM integration — connects to ServiceNow to trigger decommissioning inside the existing asset workflow.

Benefits

Downtime drops because Blancco LUN Eraser does not require dismounting or reconfiguring the storage: the operating system stays up and the LUN returns to the capacity pool when the task ends.

Hardware value is preserved because sanitization is logical, not physical. Cabinet, controllers and drives stay in service — unlike drive replacement, which discards healthy assets to solve a data problem.

Audit requirements are met because each erasure produces a signed certificate identifying the volume by LUN ID, port and path. That is the difference between claiming a volume was wiped and proving which volume was wiped, when and by which method.

Who it is for

Blancco LUN Eraser is for storage and data center infrastructure teams, information security, compliance, SAN administrators and capacity contract managers. Concrete scenarios:

  • Returning leased storage — the contract requires the cabinet back in working order, so destroying drives is not an option.
  • Cloud migration — data moves off local storage and the source volume must be sanitized with evidence.
  • Reprovisioning across teams — a LUN the finance environment will be reused by another team and cannot carry residual data.
  • Expired regulated data — information under PCI DSS or HIPAA passes its retention period and must leave the array.

Differentiators

What sets Blancco LUN Eraser apart the obvious alternatives is working on the logical volume without stopping the environment. Drive erasure tools require the machine powered off and the drive accessible; native array utilities reprovision the volume without producing proof of sanitization. Blancco LUN Eraser overwrites the data allocated across the physical drives and then verifies and certifies the result at the end of the process.

Platform coverage reaches UNIX, Linux, Windows and macOS, spanning drives accessed over IDE, SCSI, fibre channel and iSCSI — including legacy environments an endpoint tool cannot enter.

System requirements

Blancco LUN Eraser runs on top of the already installed operating system or is deployed via WinPE, which helps when neither the system nor the boot order can be changed. Per Blancco specification, supported systems include WinPE, Windows 10, 8 and 7 and Windows Server 2003 through 2012 R2, in 32-bit and 64-bit; Solaris 10 and 11 on x86 and SPARC; HP-UX 11.23 and 11.31 on PA-RISC and IA64; AIX 5.1 through 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6; SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 and 12; VMware ESXi 4, 5 and 6; and macOS High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina. It erases drives in Macs with the Apple T2 chip, detects MDM and DEP locks on macOS, and requires access to Blancco Management Portal for licenses and reporting.

Editions and modules

Blancco LUN Eraser has no feature tiers of its own: it is made available inside Blancco's corporate bundles, and LUN erasure appears in the data center oriented levels — the same ones that bring workflow automation and ITSM and ITAM integration. In practice the product sits in the same contract as Blancco Drive Eraser, Blancco File Eraser and Blancco Virtual Machine Eraser, all drawing the same license balance, distributed by Blancco Management Portal in the cloud or on-premise.

How much does Blancco LUN Eraser cost?

Blancco LUN Eraser is licensed per erasure event consumed a shared license pool — the model Blancco calls Blancco Common License. According to Blancco, events are consumed by actions such as erasing drives, files, LUNs or virtual machines, all drawing the same balance, and licensing cost follows total event volume. The modality is a term-based subscription, on an annual or multi-year horizon; there is no perpetual license for this product.

There is no list value because the investment depends on sizing: the volume of events planned for the period, the corporate bundle level that enables LUN erasure, the contract term, whether Blancco Management Portal will be cloud or on-premise, and whether this is a new purchase or a renewal. Two counting rules change the arithmetic: every task started draws the balance, and different features carry different rates — some consume a fraction of a license, not a whole unit.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to stop the storage or dismount the array to erase a LUN? No. Blancco LUN Eraser works in active environments: operating system and metadata stay intact and the volume is available for reuse when the task finishes.

Does Blancco LUN Eraser meet NIST Purge? It verifies and certifies at the NIST Clear level. Programs running on top of a live operating system normally cannot reach Purge because they do not remove freeze locks the internal drive. If compliance requires Purge, the path is Blancco Drive Eraser, with the machine powered off.

Does it work on storage accessed over fibre channel and iSCSI? Yes, plus IDE and SCSI. It erases any disk drive supported by UNIX, Linux and Windows, and also virtual data stores servers in public clouds such as AWS.

Can erasure be triggered ServiceNow? Yes. The product integrates with ITAM and ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow, which lets you trigger and track decommissioning within the asset workflow already in use.
