<listitem>
<para>To drive an NVDIMM secure erase and verification procedure,
Software must 'start' the erase procedure and then continue with
repeated 'check' commands for up to a time period required by
the platform. The repeated 'check' commands signal the platform
to continually monitor the status of the ongoing erase operation
which must continue until either the partition receives an
'NVDIMM status change' event notification via RTAS check-exception
or the time period is exhausted.</para>
