We have a need to perform a "security erase" of some VM DASD that is currently
in a classified site. The requirements are that a pattern of 1's and 0's be
written on the volume and then a report be printed validating that 1's and 0's
have been written on the volume. Does anyone have or know of some VM utility
that does this? If not, does anyone know of a way using standard VM utilities
(i.e., DSF, DDR, etc.)? If we can't do this, we'll just have to beat the HDA's
senseless and throw them out.

Thanks.
