Does anyone know the command to use to format drives in an HP 9000 machine,the way the dod wants it.I know they want you to use a certian command to format their drives to make sure everything is erased.I was hoping someone would know the command that the dod wants you to use.
Thank You
Jon

Re: dod formatting
Not really sure what "dod" is, but i can see that you need to erase your disks.
Try:
cat /dev/zero | dd bs=64k of=/dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
(your disk dev file cXtYd0)
Which will write all zeros over the disc and then if needed use:
cat /dev/zero | tr '\0' '\377' | dd bs=64k of=/dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
By changing the 377 you can write any patten of ones and zeros you like.
Let us know,
Cheers,
Phil

Re: dod formatting
I think you really need a combination of both the above answers.
The DOD standards are 5220.22-M and are quite vigourous and just one command isnt sufficient for this.
More details of the process needed can be found here
http://www.guard-privacy-and-online-security.com/how-clean-off-the-hard-drive.html#The
http://www.killdisk.com/dod.htm
but basically you need to write all zero's then all 1's and then all random charactors across the whole disk, for the most basic of the standard. The more sensitive the data the more this has to be done.
However, HP have there own strong random number generator you could use, but not sure this is enough either on its own.
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=KRNG11I
The best thing would be to write a script that includes this and the others, and run numerous times
Either that or purchase a dedicated program to use which is certified to the standard

Re: dod formatting
If you can hook the drives up to something x86 based, then take a look at DBAN http://www.dban.org
That will allow you to wipe drives to a variety of different standards, and best of all its free...
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob
