| I need to sterilize of a bunch of Sun workstations and servers for resale. I need a boot disk or boot cd which will allow me to boot the machines and run dmesg so I can record the system specs of each one and then run BCWipe or similar to wipe the hard drives. The systems range from 2 to 7 years old, some with only floppy drives. I don't have the passwords for any of them so I can't just boot normally. There is a program called Tufftest which will do this for PCs but I basically need the Sun equivalent. Any suggestions appreciated. |

Just use a Solaris CD, Software disk 1 From the OBP boot cdrom -s Mount the HD to extract any information that you need Run format -> analyse and pick an option that destroys data |
