The document describes two methods to force format all drives on an HP server using either the OV ssh-cli or the Windows HP Lights-out configuration utility. The OV ssh-cli method involves logging into the OA CLI as administrator, selecting the server bay, and copying/pasting XML code after changing the username and password. The Windows utility method involves creating an XML file on the system, copying/pasting the same XML code after changing the username/password, saving the file, and running the HPQLOCFG.exe tool along with arguments including the IP, username, password and XML file.
