+The command 'ctdb wipedb' is used to clear a database across the whole
+cluster.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+* An active CTDB cluster with at least 2 active nodes.
+
+Steps:
+
+1. Verify that the status on all of the ctdb nodes is 'OK'.
+2. create a persistent test database
+3, add some records to node #0 and node #1
+4, perform wipedb on node #0 and verify the database is empty on both node 0 and 1
+
+Expected results:
+
+* that 4 will result in empty database
