Re: DISK Sanitizer Help

Rob's idea is probably the best. A non-i alternative would be to pull the
disks, connect them to a PC (which needs a SCSI/SAS controller to match
your drives so probably a server), and DOD-wipe from there. You don't need
to care about building RAID or anything as all you want to do is wipe each
drive.

Nothing stopping you from deleting all partitions. Creating one partition
and assigning all resources to it. Install just the Lic and OS. Install
the disk sanitizer and go from there. This new partition should have 70
days of keys. Batteries on the disk cards shouldn't be a show stopper,
just make it run slower.

We have a 9117 MMA. (and two other power 6 boxes). And use HMC.

Morning,

We have a 9117 MMA that has not been access in the past 12 months.
Now management would like to sell this equipment but the 2.5TB of disk
storage needs to be Sanitized before it can be sold.
Here are the issues I need to overcome.


1. The only access to the system is by using the HMC console.

2. The 4 partitions are not running because the product keys are
expired along with the QSECOFR id.

3. The batteries on the disk cards may be dead too, but I am not
sure.

4. We need to install IBM Disk Sanitizer for I5/OS because it is DOD
compliance.

5. The Hardware/Software is not longer under IBM support.

6. Using a outside vendor to help with this is not an option either.


Does anyone has any other ideas on how to proceed with the above
requirements.

Thanks,
Rogers
