Hi,
I'm trying to decommission a DL380 G5 server with a pair of SAS 72GB hard drives, which were originally configured in a RAID 1 array.
I have long used Active KillDisk to wipe my desktops and it works fine, however, when I tried it on this server it said it was going to take 40+ hours. So I started searching to see if there was a way to do this more efficiently and found most suggest breaking the RAID config and simply wiping the drives individually.
So I deleted the logical array and now Active KillDisk doesn't see the hard drives at all.
I downloaded DBAN and burned it to a CD and it too reports there are no drives in the system.
Anyone know how to perform a DoD level wipe of the hard drives in a server like this? Step by step instructions would be appreciated.
FYI, I'm planning on donating this server so I need the drives intact, otherwise I'd consider physically destroying them.
Thanks in advance,
Linn
