I have just added new disk from SAN. From the command lsscsi it appears as below:
disk EMC LUNZ 5410 /dev/sdb
disk EMC LUNZ 5410 /dev/sdc
disk EMC LUNZ 5410 /dev/sdd
disk EMC LUNZ 5410 /dev/sde
disk EMC LUNZ 5410 /dev/sdf
disk EMC LUNZ 5410 /dev/sdg
disk EMC LUNZ 5410 /dev/sdh
disk EMC LUNZ 5410 /dev/sdi
Now how do i proceed to create the file system.
Please help
The least-technical way is to go into Yast and find the ‘Partitinoer’ tool
which will let you do all kinds of filesystem/partitioning things. Keep
in mind that this tool, like anything having to do with partitioning, is
meant for people who understand partitioning and it will warn you, as you
open it, that you could do really bad things if you mess up.
Another option, depending on what you want to do, is to use the command
line. Some combination of the ‘parted’ command with a command to actually
format the filesystem, then mount it if you feel so inclined, could also
work. You could also setup LVM, a software RAID setup, enable Multipath
I/O, and who knows what else depending on what you’re doing with this system.

Good luck.

After opening Partitioner, the following error occurs:

Are you sure that your installation of SLES went okay? I’ve never seen
Yast throw an error like that unless there was a problem with the install,
like bad media, or a subsequent corruption of the operating system itself
(disk problems).
If you want to try to push forward, tell us what you want to do with
regard to the disks and we can come up with the commands outside of Yast
to do it, but I would recommend either doing a good verification of the
system or, if you’re newer to Linux, and especially if this is a new box,
rebuild the box after verifying the installation media are okay (you
should only really need DVD 1) since if you have problems with something
already, who knows how broken the installation was. Maybe you’re just
unlucky and this is a bug that only you are seeing, but that’s pretty
unlikely.
