Re: FORMAT
Do you want to destroy the data on the disk?
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 bs=1024k
mediainit is the tool to low level format the disk which takes long time.

SolutionNormally, we do NOT format a disk in Unix.
May be you no longer need the data in that disk/vg.
If this is the case, use:
# vgexport vg_name
and the Vg is gone for ever. Now the disks are free to be used again by making them a part of another vg and overwriting them.
Erase the header info in the disk by:
# pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/cxtyd0
If you still need to format and erase every single block, use:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/cxtyd0 bs=1024k
Hope this helps.
