At the moment, there are no command, dedicated only for wiping disks without partitioning it all over again. It would be really helpful to have a dedicated command, where user can only wipe disks without any partitioning, using the metadata of the Hardware.
Current Behaviour
Not possible to run disk wiping without partitioning the disks again.
Possible Solution
Extracting the Wipe functionality from the disk partition and use a dedicated command. Here is PR:
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Context
This is very helpful, when the provisioned machine, are gonna be used by some storage specific services or SDS operator, as some of those operator don't use disks that are in a specific status(for example if the disks have partitions, the storage operator would considered this disk being in used by some other software and wouldn't use and utilize it).
Your Environment
Operating System and version (e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS):
How are you running Tinkerbell? Using Vagrant & VirtualBox, Vagrant & Libvirt, on Packet using Terraform, or give details:
