Is that all the system erase does to the disks? I thought it did more than trash the onboard raid config.

Even so, it doesn't "wipe". It just resets the RAID configuration. A wipe takes a lot longer than system erase.

Oh DOD = government DOD. I figured it was some ghost switch.

I do work for HP, but not in that division, and I'm pretty sure that System Erase does NOT do a DOD-quality wipe.

Greetings, I am trying to use Symantecs Gdisk with a /DODWIPE option to do a security wipe of a Compaq 7000's Raid Array, however using a dos boot disk will not allow me to access the disk array. My work around on this was that I created a 32 bit bootable CD-Rom using Bart's PE and I added the server's 32bit Raid controller driver which now allows me to access the disk array. However since it is running a 32bit OS, gdisk will not work as it is only a 16bit program. When I try and use Symantec's Gdisk32 which will run, the /DODWIPE option is not available. Does anyone know if Symantec has an updated version of GDISK32 that supports a DODWIPE? Does any one have any prefered tools other then GDISK that they can recommend that will work with my Raid Array? Since there are some HP employees on this list, does HP have a recommended tool they provide there customers to use on Proliant servers before decommisioning them?
