Here is a script for automatic labeling of previously unlabeled disks.
Other methods exist (format -f cmd_file), but I like this because it's all in one place.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#----------------------
# format_label
# Automatic labeling of previously unlabeled disks

#----------------------
# Enter a list of disks, as format's banner would report them
