Scan for new SAN with FC on suse 9 (SLES9)

Hi,
I connect the server to new SAN with FC (fiber channel). I run the scan but there is no multipath is installed on the server, how can I see which /dev/dm- is the right one so I can create pv (pvcreate)?

# cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64)
VERSION = 9
PATCHLEVEL = 3

Thoughts/experiences of SAN attaching V880 to EMC SAN

NAME

       hbaapi - Fibre Channel Storage Network Industry Association Host Bus Adapter Application Programming Interface (FC SNIA HBA API)

DESCRIPTION

       The  Common  HBA  API  provides a consistent HBA standard interface for accessing information in a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN)
       that would be implemented across vendors as a standard 'C' API supported by vendor specific library instances.

       This API library is thread-safe, but threads should not be cancelled when execution is in the API.

       The following functions are available in the API for managing a Fibre Channel HBA.  This API would be exposed to upper  level  applications
       to control SAN functionality.

       Please refer to for details on structures used.
