Formatting a newly created lun

Hi ,

I have created one new lun in my SAN storage and make it visible to my HP servers , but the fdisk -l output is somehow confusing. Do not know what to do next ----------

Code:
fdisk  -l /dev/sdo1

Disk /dev/sdo1 (Sun disk label): 64 heads, 32 sectors, 10238 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes

    Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System


please help !!!!

Probably you need to use /dev/sdo instead of /dev/sdo1, which likely points to a partition.

What do you want to do with this LUN? Do you want to make it part of an LVM configuration?
