Format OS drives on Tru64 Alpha Server environment.

Need to erase all data on my OS drives in order to decommission server. What are some of the ways that this can be done?

John,

You can use zeero or dd.

ex:
# /usr/lbin/zeero -df dev_name

# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/rdsk/ bs=1024k conv=noerror
