Sun Hard Drive Wipes
Greetings!!
I've been tasked with decommissioning a group of older Sun servers. I have several SunFire 280r among them as well as some others. I have asolutely no experience with Sun systems and find myself in a bit of a pickle. I need two things
- ... someone to explain to me in grade school level terms how to get one of these bohemoths to boot from a CD.
- ... some input/feedback on best practices to get DoD level hard drive wipes for these bad boys.
I thank you for you consideration.

Okay, so after alot of digging (started several hours before posting here) I have finally found some of my own answer...
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/...kuh/index.html
The question I have now is when am I supposed to see the OK prompt? It appears to have the HDD set for autoboot. The [break] key just gives me a ^[[208z
Any ideas or help please?

htpurge
htdig(1) General Commands Manual htdig(1)
NAME
htpurge - remove unused documents from the database (general maintenance script)
SYNOPSIS
htpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v]
DESCRIPTION
Htpurge functions to remove specified URLs from the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs, obsolete documents, etc. It is recom-
mended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents of this sort.
OPTIONS
- Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with -u). Format of input file is one URL per line. -a Use alternate work
files. Tells htpurge to append .work to database files, causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows the original
files to be used by htsearch during the run.
-c configfile
Use the specified configfile instead of the default.
-u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be specified multiple times if more than one URL are to be removed. Should nor
be used together with -.
-v Verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the program. Using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging purposes. The
default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress report while digging.
FILES
/etc/htdig/htdig.conf
The default configuration file.
SEE ALSO
Please refer to the HTML pages (in the htdig-doc package) /usr/share/doc/htdig-doc/html/index.html and the manual pages htdigconfig(8) ,
htdig(1) and htmerge(1) for a detailed description of ht://Dig and its commands.
