Need to format/erase SCSI disks that were part of a raid array. Non-Standard Hardware.
Junior Admin level skills.
We were generously given a number of servers, labeled as Dell but obviously not standard boxes. When I am able to install an OS, they come up as Dell BlackfordESB2 (instead of 1950, etc). Most of these boxes contain disk that were part of a different raid so I can't use the built in utility to configure. I have booted a number of different Dell configuration disks but when I launch the config utility it always come up as "unsupported system". I am desperate for a way to erase these disks so I can then reconfigure and deploy these systems. I can boot these systems using an external USB DVD drive but is there a utility I could use to erase these disks?
