Hi Guys..I tried it but couldn't resolve. dmesg didn't give me the corresponding device name. My RH machine is corrupted and so I am using a VMWare machine which has a Linux kernel. I will attach the output of dmesg:

I believe that the above output talks only about the LUNS configured with the server. sda, sdb, sdc....sdh. right??
