Mounting a new disk on linux server

Hi All.
I am pretty new when it comes to Linux. My admin left on vacation and has presented 2 new disks to the server but they won't be seen until I can reboot the box this weekend.
Once that happens I need the steps to make it available to my server and mount them as new filesystems. One will be for oracle data and the other for backup data.
Can anyone provide me with the steps neeed to complete this?
Here is some info I have on the current setup:

Code:
 
RCWLO-ODS10g:/ # uname -a
Linux RCWLO-ODS10g 2.6.16.60-0.42.8-smp #1 SMP Tue Dec 15 17:28:00 UTC 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Code:
 
RCWLO-ODS10g:/ # df -k

FDFORMAT(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       FDFORMAT(8)

NAME
fdformat - Low-level formats a floppy disk SYNOPSIS
fdformat [-n] device DESCRIPTION
fdformat does a low level format on a floppy disk. device is usually one of the following (for floppy devices, the major = 2, and the minor is shown for informational purposes only): /dev/fd0d360 (minor = 4) /dev/fd0h1200 (minor = 8) /dev/fd0D360 (minor = 12) /dev/fd0H360 (minor = 12) /dev/fd0D720 (minor = 16) /dev/fd0H720 (minor = 16) /dev/fd0h360 (minor = 20) /dev/fd0h720 (minor = 24) /dev/fd0H1440 (minor = 28) /dev/fd1d360 (minor = 5) /dev/fd1h1200 (minor = 9) /dev/fd1D360 (minor = 13) /dev/fd1H360 (minor = 13) /dev/fd1D720 (minor = 17) /dev/fd1H720 (minor = 17) /dev/fd1h360 (minor = 21) /dev/fd1h720 (minor = 25) /dev/fd1H1440 (minor = 29) The generic floppy devices, /dev/fd0 and /dev/fd1, will fail to work with fdformat when a non-standard format is being used, or if the for- mat has not been autodetected earlier. In this case, use setfdprm(8) to load the disk parameters. OPTIONS
-n No verify. This option will disable the verification that is performed after the format. SEE ALSO
fd(4), setfdprm(8), mkfs(8), emkfs(8) AUTHOR
Werner Almesberger (almesber@nessie.cs.id.ethz.ch) AVAILABILITY
The fdformat command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/. Linux 0.99 1 February 1993 FDFORMAT(8)
