That's somewhat true... but someone looking at those disks in DST mode may still see more that you want them to. I worked at a hospital and tested that once when getting rid of a box. I could still see enough of certain records to make me nervous (SSNs, name fragments, diag codes, etc.). The records weren't complete, but i'd still reinitialize them if you have privacy/confidentiality concerns. -----domino400-bounces+chadb=wheeling-nisshin.com@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: ----- To: Lotus Domino on the iSeries / AS400 <domino400@xxxxxxxxxxxx> From: Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: domino400-bounces+chadb=wheeling-nisshin.com@xxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 01/20/2006 09:25AM Subject: Re: Prepping server for decommission Personally, we've always started to D mode and used the option to install LIC and initialize the system. You can also use the option to format the disk units from DST after this. Also, in theory if you then take out some hard drives and put them in different slots this should really foul up the RAID configuration, right (assuming that you are using RAID)? So even if something was retained the next person would have to get all the drives in the right slots to access it (since it's striped across multiple drives).
