Boot Sunblade 1000 from disc
Hi everyone!
so i will warn you now, i was thrown into an IT position that is a tad over my head with everything it covers mainly with linux, so i'm pretty noobish. But i need to wipe a ton of sun scsi hard drives with this sunblade 1000 and i have no idea how to boot to the dvd of solaris 10 to do that. I also cannot log in since these are ancient and i wasn't told the passwords or usernames. is there a way to boot to cd without logging in/ an easier way to wipe these hdd's? Thanks for any info you might have! |

If you "boot cdrom" then you will get into the O/S install routine. To wipe hard drives better go to single user (maintenance) mode:- At "ok" prompt Code:
boot cdrom -s Then, when you get a prompt use: Code:
format command to view disk drives and select one of them to work on. Code:
Analyze/purge will wipe a drive to DoD standard (5 pattern writes) which takes a long time to run. You don't say why you want to wipe the drives or to what security level. There may be much quicker ways to do it if you only want to use the drives for something else. |
