erasing data from HP servers & EMC disk arrays

I was wondering what some of you are using to erase data from old HP-9000 servers and new EMC disk arrays which hold up 
to 96 hard drives. The lease for these equipments are coming up and I need to come with a process to erase the data.
Degaussing the drives is one option but I was wondering is there is a software solution that may allow me to write 
one's and zero's at least 7 times to comply with DOD standards. These boxes are running HP-UX 10.20; 11.00, 11ia.

Thanks in advance.
