Configure storage on the host
A new LUN is offline and has no partition or file system when a Windows host first discovers it. You must
bring the volume online and initialize it in Windows. Optionally, you can format the LUN with a file system.
The host must have discovered the LUN.
You can initialize the disk as a basic disk with a GPT or MBR partition table. Typically, you format the LUN
with a file system such as New Technology File System (NTFS).

instructions for formatting and naming the partition.
