Best way to securely wipe drives
Hello,
We are getting rid of an older NX4 array (also a VNX5200 after that), and I'm curious as to what the best way to securly DoD wipe the drives are.
Initial thought was to create a few virtual machines with thick provisioned disks mapped to the storage and boot up from DBAN (Boot and Nuke). Obviously it would write out to the disks... but is that the most efficient and best way?
We can use NFS or iSCSI.

If you need a secure wipe with certificate there are EMC professional service offerings for that
Depending on the platform they use special software and/or hardware

Were going to get a certificate from the third party buying the equipment back.
However I want to do my due diligence in giving it to them without any traces of our data on it. So I think I will create some large disks and have a few VM's across different hosts hit the array with a boot and nuke kind of utility.
