Erasing/Decomissioning DASD
Hi all,
Some months ago there was a discussion on this list about
the best method to decommissioning system disks. There was
even some comments about using them for target practice, as
an effective method of removing disk data.
Well, Save your shells!! I apologize if this had appeared
before but, reading a Redbook about the new models, I ran
across the PRPQ 5799-SD1 which, in IBM lingo, "sanitizes"
disk drives according to DoD standards..
You can get more info about this in Technote No. 454862776:

Hope this helps.
