AFAIK you need to REBOOT the linux server in order for it to detect the new LUN SAN.<br />
<br />
Next you look for it by using &quot;fdisk -l&quot;, then you need to create a partition on it using fdisk, then you create a filesystem and finally you add it to your fstab before mounting it.<br />
<br />
man fdisk<br />
man fstab<br />
man mkfs

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
One of a servers here (Linux) was just presented with new LUN on a SAN.<br />
the backend pieces were done (presentation, allocation) on the SAN. &nbsp;and I was told the LUN should be presented to the server properly already.<br />
What do I have to do on the Linux server to make that LUN visible, mounted and usable?<br />
I'm pretty new to Linux. please help.<br />

making a new SAN LUN usable in Linux

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
