Re: Decommissioning an HMC

CR* HMCs are just an x86 server so load up your favourite erasing software
(dban?) and wipe normally.

reloading was one way listed.
The other way was to boot to Windows media and see if it allows you to
format it.

But if you choose reloading, option 3 of the following sounds about right

Thanks to all who pointed out the obvious. I don't know why I expected
anything different. Clearing the i's disks involved reloading the OS than
initializing the disks, it would only make sense that a similar process is
used for the HMC.

Water will do a number on the mother board, make the entire system
in-operable. Voice of experience.

Will coffee do?
