You can use mediainit or you can use dd:

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/rdsk/cXtXdX bs=1024k

Hi,

You mean erase all data from a disk?

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/cxtydz bs=1024k

Sir/lady!

Go with the dd command explained above or the mediainit command:

Hi,
use the command below

mediainit -f /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx

Note : This task would take time depending on the size of the disk.


Cheers

Mind you a pvcreate -f does also a nice job...


All the best
