I've finally been given the go to turn everything off and send it to our surplus where it will probably be auctioned by weight.
I need, however, to be able to zap whatever data there is on it with something good enough but not necessarily military grade, and would prefer not having to boot OpenVMS to do an init/erase as this will take a while with all the servers that are hooked up to it.
SWCC doesn't seem to have any disk exerciser or dilx function, the only I thing I found that comes close is a "format disk" option when I log in directly to the text interface with a serial cable.
Anyone done this before and has suggestions? I'll hand points to whoever actually dares to answer!
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThere is indeed an "ASCII menue" if you connect a terminal/emulator to the serial port. If I remember correctly you hit [ESC][&] and then enter the password "DECRAID".
Next comes a strange menue system (not D|I|G|I|T|A|L's invention as the box is based on the CMD "Anaconda").

Re: Wiping out an HSZ22 (without a press drill)
I'm trying to see if the "format" option actually overwrites the whole disks. I don't care if it writes zeroes just once, that is enough. But if it just writes a header that's not good enough.
I might end up with a init/erase after all.
Thanks!
