We migrated our data from our old storage to a new storage device. What is the best way to format the old drives so that no one can retrieve any data from the old storage? We like to sell it but can't have the data retrievable by its new owner.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Formatting disks
Generally nothing more complicated than a dd will be needed (at least for moderate levels of security).
e.g.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c1t5d0 bs=64k
A more robust method (if you are on 11.11 and have installed the strong random number generator patch is like the above except if=/dev/urandom. In this case, rather than NUL's random characters will be written.
e.g.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c1t5d0 bs=64k

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
