Partitioning a SCSI device
You can partition SCSI devices that are attached through an FCP channel in the same way that you can partition SCSI attached devices on other platforms.
About this task
Use the fdisk command to partition a SCSI disk, not fdasd.
If your distribution provides udev, udev might create device nodes for your partitions. See your distribution documentation for details. If you need to create your own nodes for your partitions, see Finding the major and minor numbers for a block device that corresponds to a SCSI disk.
Example
To partition a SCSI disk with a device node /dev/sda issue:
# fdisk /dev/sda
