Now... for Oracle, if it will be for ASM it will still require a partition. You should learn some of the commands for fdisk from here:
and then create the associated partitions, but not put any file systems on them. If by backup, you mean dumps of the tables, then you will need a filesystem
mkfs.<filesystemtype> should get you started. Many people use ext3, but any number of file system types should work, such as jfs, xfs, etc.
Based on the output, it appears you are running SUSE, is this correct? Yast would help you with a lot of this if you are.

Also, since you are using SAN based storage, and probably using some sort of multi-pathing (SANs, by the way they work, tend to show you multiple paths to the storage, and the operating system confuses them with actual drives), you should reference your drives like they are in /etc/fstab
Using either devmapper or /dev/disk/by-id rather than the sd? designation.
