Hi,

I got some old Compaq and IBM servers that will soon be phased out and
sold to a hardware broker. However, before they go I want to make sure
that there's no data left on them.
I seem to recall reading about some bootable cds that will do this for
you but am unable to find the article.

I'm looking for something that will do at least a 7-pass wipe of the
disks and will do so with minimal or no user intervention. The tool
should support the most common raid adapters.

Does anyone have any reccomendations?

I use Darik's Boot and Nuke, http://dban.sourceforge.net/
