Add the disk to the directory link the disk, format and convert to linux format detach the disk use secuser to linux server to link the disk and bring it online. That assums that you have root logged on the console. I do. Wrap it all up in an exec and you can do as many as you want. You could also start the exec up on different ids and get multiple formats going on at the same time.
