    #!/bin/ksh
    for i in `lsdev -Cc pdisk -r name`
    do
    echo $i
    /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/ssa_format -l $i
    done
    The ssa_format command don't wait until finalize, so the format is performed to all the disks in parallel way.

    Regards.

    You could see the progress of the disks formating with the following script:

    #!/bin/ksh
    for i in `lsdev -Cc pdisk -r name`
    do
    echo `echo $i|awk -Fk '{print $2}'` $i `/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/ssa_progress -l $i`
    done
