Ignite bootcd with minim. HPUX (Recovery Shell, RAM-Disc) for wiping disks

[STS-UNIX]

Hi all,
I created a minim. hpux 11.11 bootcd with ignite (6.6.93). On the cd is a disk wiping tool wipe-2.2.0. I can boot and execute a recovery shell (this creates a RAM-Disk). But wipe-2.2.0 needs /dev/random or /dev/urandom. Does anybody know how to configure ignite to boot with the necessary random number generator filesets and the /dev/random, /dev/urandom files in the RAM-Disk?

Hi !

You need to download KRHG11i=bundle from
HP-site and include it in bootcd-contain.

This software automaticly create /dev/random
and so on....

Shalom,

Install the tools you need on the system you are using to create the Ignite image. Then include the /dev/random and other files into your Ignite image.

You could alternatively have the disks sent out for destruction. A full OS install and a file copy that fills up the disk is more effective than this tool at making sure the disks are clean.

Hi Stanimir,

the idea to install the KRHG11i is not bad, but after the installation the system will boot. The installed files will be lost from RAM-Disk after booting. Because of this i think it is better to configure ignite with the needed files of the strong random generator and boot with them on the bootcd

Shalom Steven,

could you explain how do you mean it?
The problem is, that i can't use the hard disks for installing any software. Only the installion on RAM Disk or executing from CD-Medium is possible.
