empty-gpt-tables

DEPRECATED: Make sure that the EFI BootOrder variable has the NIC we installed from first.

For every disk found in the system, write an empty GPT table on the disk. This typically should follow the prep-install Stage which wipes the disks clean.

Useful for disks destined for VMware vSphere VSAN or other storage solutions that require starting with a clean disk with an empty GPT table to use the disk.

This task requires that the Param zero-hard-disks-for-os-install is set to true to operate, otherwise, it will not perform any GPT table changes. The default value for this safety control Param is false.

Warning

This Task will WIPE ALL DISKS on a system if the Param zero-hard-disks-for-os-install is set to true.
