Hello Roland,
If you are going to re-sell them, then 1 is the best. If you
want to ensure that no one will ever see the data and you are not going
to re-sell them use 2 and 3 and shred them.
Take a look at the archives. Lots of people have talked about
what needs to be done.
What level are you required?

Subject: Sunsetting a 9221
Hello Listers, my customer is sunsetting a 9221-200 with a
bank of 9343's emulating 20 3390's. I can think of 3 ways
to erase the data from the DASDs:
1) using ICKDSF to TRKFMT them with ERASEDATA parameter;
(yeah... very time consuming and CPOWN packs - 4 of them -
will be using standalone ICKDSF...)
2) borrow a very power industrial grade magnet (must
protect the other recording devices in the computer room.
Ummm...);
3) use a 10-LB slug hammer (very quick but messy).
Do you guys have better suggesions?
Thanks a lot in advance.
...Roland
