showfdmn -k "datadomain"
where the data are and
use the dd command to erase them.
Run the dd command 5 times.

Re: Formatting Drives (Clearing Tru64)
remove the vmunix and it's copies.
shutdown the machine, if the machine is booted again. system will not come up as there is no kernel file. when the user reinstall the OS all the data in the disk will be lost.
buy the latest model,

Re: Formatting Drives (Clearing Tru64)
That would make the disk unbootable, but the data will still be there. You would only have to boot from an install cdrom. escape to the shell and you can access the data.
The "dd" method is a good one.

Re: Formatting Drives (Clearing Tru64)
Start from the installation CD
# dn_setup -boot
find the devicename of the disk to be cleared
# scu -f /dev/rdisk/dsk??c format
This should issue a "format pack" SCSI-command.
I don't know if this will be faster than the dd-trick.

Re: Formatting Drives (Clearing Tru64)
if there is no critical data on the drives, use dd write 1-2 MB to the partitions and clear the partitiontable.

Re: Formatting Drives (Clearing Tru64)
FWIW:
Formatting or overwriting is not bad to start with.
However, there will still leave remnants of magnetism that can be recovered with very specialised tools.
I heard that these remnants will be gone after ~35 overwritings.
US Department of Defense recommends 3 overwrites.
Of course, your mileage may vary.
