[clug-talk] Alternatives to DBAN

[Craig McLean]

Hello.

I have some HP Hardware and I need to securely erase the hard drives before
I send the servers on to their next task.  I tried DBAN 2.0 but it doesn't
support the raid controllers in the HP servers.  What other open source
options are out there for securely erasing server drives?

The hardware is specifically a DL360 G4 with an embedded HP Smart Array 6i
Raid Controller.  The disks are standard HP ULTRA 320 hot pluggable scsi
disks.

I know I could disassemble the hot plug cages and put the disks into another
machine I have with a standard ULTRA 320 scsi controller, but I'd prefer to
avoid that.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Craig.
