Format disks
I need to decommission an old server which uses Unixware 2.1 and need to wipe the disks. Can anyone advise what the formatting command is as I'm not very familiar with this OS.
Thanks

gnome-disks
GNOME-DISKS(1) gnome-disk-utility GNOME-DISKS(1)
NAME
gnome-disks - the GNOME Disks application
SYNOPSIS
gnome-disks [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
gnome-disks is the command to launch the GNOME Disks application. Disks provides a way to inspect, format, partition and configure disks
and block devices.
The Disks application is single-instance. What this means is that if the application is not already running when the gnome-disks command is
invoked, it will get launched and the command invocation will block until the application exits. Otherwise the existing application
instance will be used and the gnome-disks command will exit immediately.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--block-device DEVICE
Switches to the Disks application and selects the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sda).
--block-device DEVICE --format-device [--xid WINDOW-ID]
Shows the "Format Volume" dialog for the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sdb1). If WINDOW-ID is given, makes the dialog
transient to the given XID.
--help
Prints a short help text and exits.
