NAME
     initDisk - initializes disk and partitions is as an option disk

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/initDisk -d drivetype -c controller number -u unit
     number


DESCRIPTION
     initDisk invokes fx to initialize a disk and partition it as an option
     disk with all usable space in one partition, partition 7.  It is
     essentially equivalent to performing the operation  fx -x -c INITIALIZE
     on the indicated disk.


OPTIONS
     -d drivetype
          recognized types can be found in the fx(1M) man page.  The types
          include dksc for SCSI drives, jag for SCSI drives connected to a
          Jaguar VME SCSI controller, and fd for floppy drives.

     -c controller number
          the controller that the drive is attached to.

     -u unit number
          The unit number of the drive

EXAMPLE
     "initDisk -d dksc -c 0 -u 1" would initialize the SCSI disk with unit ID
     number 1 attached to SCSI controller 0.
