Wipe a Sunfire V480
Hi Guys
I'm new here in these forums and also in Sun Solaris/Sun hardware related things.
I have some really basic questions about the way to go for "wipe" a Sun Solaris system.
I have to sell a used Sunfire v480 and I wan't to wipe the old sytem before selling it. But I'm not sure if I can just erase/wipe all the partitions on the disk. Are there any special partition/settings that shouldn't be erased?
I visited the Sun Links on the top of this forum. But the Sun Forum seems to be down/broken atm. Someone knows any other good support site for Sun Server related questions? Well I'm allready stuck on how to boot a Sunfire from cd-rom drive
Or is there an irc-channel for such things where I can get some really basic support?
greets Slowatsch
