Hi
Has anyone used the IBM disk sanitizer who has some hints they are willing
to share ? I need to scrub a couple of systems clean of all data and have
been asked to use this tool as opposed to/in addition to initializing the
system.
I've read the IBM documentation here:
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/systems/support/system_i/tools/PRPQ5799SD1README.pdf
From what I can figure out, I need to:
- Install the licensed product 5799 SD1
- Remove all user data and objects from the system
- Remove all unnecessary Licensed Programs from the system
- Logically remove all disks from the system (except the load source)
- End RAID
- Run the sanitizer over the unconfigured disks from SST
Is there a simple way to do a D IPL from a LIC disk and initialize the
system and then run the sanitizer or are the steps above the approved
approach ?
Any comments at all appreciated.
