I have a p690 with 40+ disks. I am trying to clean the data on the disks. Can the diag command be used for multiple disks. I was using 'diag -c -d <devicename> -T "format -s erase -a write" command, but i was abke to do only one disk at a time. I am looking forward to run this command in the background specifying all of the 40+ disks. Is it possible?? If not is there any way to get this done or it can be done only one disk at a time. Please help

you will have to do it in a little script
like : for disk in `lspv|cut -f1 -d""(or whatever gives you a list of the hdisks that you need to format)`
do
echo "formatting disk $disk"
'diag -c -d $disk -T "format -s erase -a write"`
done
It should be sth like the above,and you can use nohup if you want it in background.
