try to fdisk /dev/cciss/ida/c0d0 and c0d1, those should be the two
logical disks (or /dev/ida/cciss/c0d0, i forget). create partitions
(c0d0p1, p2, and so on), run mkfs.ext3 to put a filesystem on them, then
modify /etc/fstab with the appropriate info. redhat uses labels to
identify partitions in fstab, but i prefer device names. whatever works
for you.
