You need to create a filesystem on it first, so use "mke2fs" or some similar program, depending on which FS type you want to use.

	      # /usr/sbin/ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc

       -al,   --allow-lip
	      LIP is not issued by default, even if it is required for scanning new LUNs Setting this option, allows the utility to issue LIP.

       -cl, --current-luns
	      Displays LUNS currently present

       -e,  --extended-scan
	      Use this option as "-e | --extended-scan". to rescan LUNs. This will identify any change in attributes of existing LUNs. This option
	      can be used in combination of scan/refresh or max luns

       -i,  --interactive
