Hi there, After seeing through fdisk -l (if your san is connected it will show sda, sdb etc) based on number of LUN allocated. If your HBA is one connection then it should be alright other wise you need multipath driver as example RDAC for IBM, otherwise you will see the same disk twice. Once you shuttle that you can partition and format as like local hard drive. Hope it will help. 2008/5/27 Geofrey Rainey <Geofrey.Rainey@xxxxxxxxxx>: > Hi, > > 1.
