Re: Wipe Disk Array
Something like 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1024k' or 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdx bs=1024k' would work, adjusting it to your needs.
Read up on dd if you are not familiar with it. This would write over the device at the block level, and make any previous data written very hard to access. Doing it multiple times would make it extremely hard to recover any real data, but is probably unecessary.
If you need the dd utility for windows, a ported version is available. See http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#aboutdd for getting a copy of dd.exe. The syntax is a bit different for Windows devices, but it is very similar - just the paths would look different.
Hope this helps!

Re: Wipe Disk Array
the erase utility deletes the RAID configuration information at all places they are stored (NVRAM, RAID Controller and Disk). Without this data the disks can't be restored.

Re: Wipe Disk Array
at boot, most scsi controller have a bios that let you do a low level format.
This should accomplish your needs.
