Once your order of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server servelet is completed, you will need to access your servelet via ssh client. Accessing servelet via ssh can be done using putty as ssh client.
1.Login to servelet using putty and type root as username and the servelet´s password.
2.Inside the console, execute the following commands in sequence:
Below is the example to initialize the data-disk on SUSE Linux Enterprise servelet:
==============================================================================================
(1) Disk Partition creation and initialization
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ # fdisk /dev/sdb
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-41943039, default 2048):
Using default value 2048
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-41943039, default 41943039):
Using default value 41943039
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ #
(2) Format and create file system
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ # mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 27 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ #
(3) Create /data directory
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ # mkdir /data
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ #
(4) Add "/dev/sdb1 /data ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 2" into /etc/fstab
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ # echo "/dev/sdb1 /data ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 2" >> /etc/fstab
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ #
(5) Map the data disk and check the result
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ # mount -a
sc-SLES-11-SP3-1:~ # df
