Thanks for all your replies, but I didn't get the answer I want.

We have more than 500 servers, I'm looking at automate the process, so
"lu" or "format", any manual process are not options. I could have used
"prtvtoc...|fmthard ...", but we have all different kinds disks from
different vendors, this will not always work.

We have to relay out the repartition, increase /, /usr, and metadb
slice, reduce /opt, - so have to touch almost all of them.

Thanks anyway.

Meg.
