to properly sanitize the disks you'd need to use disk sanitize after doing a 9a+9c? (set up unpartitioned disks for the root aggregate, I think it was 9c). the reason is that you can only sanitize disks that don't have an aggregate, and partitioned disks spread the root aggr across many disks. Also remember you can only sanitize 100 disks at the same time so you have to do at least 4 passes (I would do 3x 100, then replace the three root aggr disks with some you already sanitized, and then sanitize the remaining 87 disks). sanitize in maint.mode doesn't always work properly (no idea why) that's why you should use the sanitization in the fully-installed system
