PRPQ 5799-SD1 READ ME INSTRUCTIONS This PRPQ (5799SD1) works only on i5/OS (R) V5R3M0 and later releases.

INSTALLATION Before you install this program, verify that the correct PTFs, listed below, are loaded and applied on your system. To install, run: RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5799SD1) DEV(OPT01) LNG(2924) Note that the default value for the keyword parameter "LNG" (language for licensed program) is *PRIMARY. If you do not change it to "2924", the default value for this key word parameter will be the same as the "Primary National Language Version" of your i5/OS system. This product does not support all national language versions, only 2924. If your system primary national language version is not 2924, you will see "*NOPRIMARY" on the "INSTALLED STATUS" column of the "DISPLAY INSTALLED LICENSED PROGRAMS" status screen (if you want to see the status, run GO LICPGM, choose option 10). This is normal. You have everything you need for this product if you did not receive any error messages during the installation process. Note that the device name for your CD may be different than OPT01. You need to change your RSTLICPGM DEV parameter according to your optical device name. After you install this product, a library named QSD1 is created. To delete this product, run GO LICPGM and select option 12. Type 4 in front of licensed program 5799SD1. For users who were asked to install this product by an IBM business partner or an independent software vendor, follow the instructions from your software provider. Your software provider will most likely give you a list of commands to issue after installing this product.

REQUIRED PTFs If you will be running this PRPQ on a system with release V5R3M0 of i5/OS, the following PTFs must be applied to your system for the PRPQ to function properly: - SI27653 - MF41753 If you will be running this PRPQ on a system with V5R3M5 Licensed Internal Code (LIC), the following PTFs must be applied to your system for the PRPQ to function properly: - SI27653 - MF41750 If you will be running this PRPQ on a system with release V5R4M0 of i5/OS, the following PTFs must be applied to your system for the PRPQ to function properly: - SI27656 - MF41751 If you will be running this PRPQ on a system with V5R4M5 Licensed Internal Code (LIC), the following PTFs must be applied to your system for the PRPQ to function properly: - SI27656 - MF41752 This PRPQ does not require any PTFs on a system with an i5/OS release greater than V5R4M0 and a Licensed Internal Code (LIC) release greater than V5R4M5.

DESCRIPTION IBM Disk Sanitizer for i5/OS provides a method for the customer to sanitize (securely erase) disk drives by overwriting all addressable locations on the disk drive three times. FORMAT The Disk Sanitizer is accessed via a macro interface from either the Dedicated Service Tools (DST) menu or the System Service Tools (SST) menu. From DST or SST, select 'Start a service tool' Select 'Display/Alter/Dump' Select 'Display/Alter storage' Select 'Licensed Internal Code (LIC) data' Select 'Advanced Analysis' (you will need to scroll down to see this option) At the Select Advanced Analysis Command screen, there is a blank line at the top. Type a 1 in the Option column to select this line, then type SANITIZE and press Enter. Type a '-H' to display the help text listed below. HELP TEXT This macro is used to securely erase non-configured disk units. The IBM Disk Sanitizer for i5/OS overwrites all addressable locations on a disk drive with three different patterns of data. Between each pattern, the input/output processor (IOP) controlling the disk unit(s) will be reset. This will affect the availability of other disk units controlled by the same IOP and will affect the performance of the system. An entry will be added to the Product Activity Log (PAL) listing each unit selected to be sanitized and an indication of whether the unit passed or failed to sanitize. The PAL System Reference Code (SRC) is B6000231 for all units on which sanitize ran successfully. The PAL SRC is B6000232 for all units on which santize did not run successfully. The control panel will display the SRC C6XX0230 during the sanitize procedure. The XX will be replaced with the percent complete. Usage: SANITIZE -HELP -- Displays this help screen. SANITIZE -LIST -- Lists the disk units that are available to be sanitized. SANITIZE -ALL -- Runs sanitize processing on all available disk units. SANITIZE -UNIT <list> -- Runs sanitize processing on a list of units. The list must contain the resource name of each unit, separated by one or more spaces. SANITIZE -README -- Displays the README file. Sample usage: SANITIZE -HELP SANITIZE -LIST SANITIZE -ALL SANITIZE -UNIT DD005 SANITIZE -UNIT DD005 DD008 DD013 SANITIZE -README

HOW TO PRINT AUDIT REPORT TO SPOOL FILE Perform the following steps to print an audit report: 1. From System Service Tools (SST), select Start a service tool. 2. Select Display/Alter/Dump. 3. Select Display/Alter storage. 4. Select Licensed Internal Code (LIC) data. 5. Select Advanced analysis. 6. Select the SANITIZE command. 7. Type the sanitize options to select the disks to sanitize. Use the -HELP option for more information. 8. You will see a screen that shows the selected units. Verify that the units you selected can be sanitized. 9. Record the options displayed at the top of the screen after the word SANITIZE. Example: -UNIT DD005 DD024 10. Press F3 to return to the Display/Alter dump output device menu. 11. Select Dump to printer. 12. Select Licensed Internal Code (LIC) data. 13. Select Advanced analysis. 14. Select the SANITIZE command. 15. Type the options you recorded in Step 9 and add the option -CONFIRM at the end of the line. Example: -UNIT DD005 DD024 -CONFIRM 16. The sanitize operation may take a long time to complete. The SRC C6XX0230 on the system control panel displays the status of the sanitize operation, where XX is the percentage complete. 17. When the sanitize operation has completed, use WRKSPLF to display or print the spool file.

CAUTIONS/LIMITATIONS Only non-configured units which are not device parity protected or compressed can be sanitized. Logical units attached via external storage cannot be sanitized. Units located under the same input/output processor (IOP) as the load source cannot be sanitized. The IOP is reset after each overwrite pass and there will be a short delay when configured disk units under the IOP being reset are not available. Because this is a write-intensive task, there may be performance issues. It is recommended to run this procedure during off-peak hours.
