Linux Real Time Issue4

1. After our EMC storage admin had attached (only one) LUN to this server ,output of "fdisk -l " contain a lot of    /dev/sd* which don't have valid partition. You mean that all of them are belong to thae EMC storage LUN? And I have to make file system on all of them?

Thanks in advance

I currently have Oracle Linux RHEL5 running and have installed a HBA to
connect to the SAN(EMC). You can see the HBA from the SAN but cannot
see the SAN storage from the Linux box.
The question is how do I connect the Linux box to that space?
I have no port_name file in /sys/class/scsi_host/host* folder.something is wrong with it?
