For MTRE:

content_copy zoom_out_map
crypto-officer@host> request vmhost zeroize no-forwarding
VMHost Zeroization : Erase all data, including configuration and log files ? [yes,no] (no) yes 

For RE1800:

content_copy zoom_out_map
crypto-officer@host> request system zeroize
warning: System will be rebooted and may not boot without configuration
Erase all data, including configuration and log files? [yes,no] (no) yes 

To initiate the zeroization process, type yes at the prompt:

content_copy zoom_out_map
