Operating Systems Solaris Need help in creating script for disk mirror and backup Post 302981503 by DukeNuke2 on Wednesday 14th of September 2016 03:42:57 AM

Even if it is possible to script all the tasks, I would not recommend to do so. Working with harddrives is something where you have to keep a lot of things in mind and check for lots of settings and parameters... If even a small thing goes wrong, you can destroy your whole system!
If you really want to go for it, you should check the tool fmthard, which does the same as format without the interactive CLI stuff.
