RE: Wiping Solaris Servers

["Levenglick, Jeff" <JLevenglick () fhlbatl com>]

Easy- free way.. 

http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/trustedsolaris/ts_tech_faq/faqs/purge..xml

Nut shell -
Run format, get defect list, run purge, get second defect list, purge again.

More About format

The format command works as follows when purging a disk.

   1. Three patterns are written to the disk:

      0xaaaaaaaa
      0x55555555
      0xaaaaaaaa
   2. The disk is read to verify that the third pattern is in each location.
   3. If the read pass is successful, the alpha_pattern is written to each location.

      0x40404040
