How to mount Eva 4000 storage on a Linux host

Environment:

HP dl380 (RedHat as3 u8) + Optical Fiber card (2 * qla2000) + Eva 4000, directly connected to the host for storage, vdisks on Eva have been divided.

Procedure:

1. Install the qla2000 Optical Fiber card driver.

2. CD/opt/hp_fibreutils; hp_rescan-

3. fdisk-l // display the hardware path of the mounted Eva Hard Disk

ISK/dev/SDA: 214.7 GB, 214748364800 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 26108 Cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065*512 = 8225280 bytesdisk/dev/SDA doesn't contain a valid Partition Table

4. Linux LVM formatting for Hard Disks

Fdisk/dev/SDB
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, Nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new dos disklabel. changes will remain in memory only,
Until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
Content won't be recoverable.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 63741.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
And coshould in certain setups cause problems:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of lilo)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSS
(E.g., DOS fdisk, OS/2 fdisk)
Warning: Invalid flag 0x0000 of Partition Table 4 will be corrected by W (RITE)

Now you can run pvcreate and other volume groups and logical volume series commands on the/dev/sdb1 hard disk.
