@Aravind_P 

What about the output of the "lsblk" command? You will able to see the disks with this command. 

 

Please post here.

Are you following along with a tutorial?
You have to substitute "diskname" for the actual disk you want to work with.

Like FabioReis said, post a picture of lsblk and show us the output.

There is no such things as this: /dev/diskname

What you'll need to use is something that looks like: /dev/sdb, /dev/vbc/dev/nvme0n1

As the others have said, the output from lsblk would really help.
