Rediscovering a storage array
About this task
Rediscover a storage array if any changes you made to the array are not reflected in the GUI. Specifically, you may need to
perform this operation if you:
● Add a new array and the number of expected storage volumes do not display when you view the logical units for the array
● Modify an existing array, for example, export a new LUN and it is not visible in the GUI
Depending on how many storage volumes are in the storage array, it can take several minutes to complete.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
a. In a metro node Local:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the View by drop-down, select Storage Arrays.
b. In a metro node Metro:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the storage array.
iii. In the View by drop-down, select Storage Arrays.
2. In the Storage Arrays view, select an array, and then click MORE > Rediscover Array.
A message appears to confirm the operation.
3. To forget any unreachable LUNs while rediscovering this array, click Forget unreachable LUNs.
4. Click Yes.
5. Show logical units for the array again to make sure that all expected storage volumes are visible.
Viewing logical units for an array
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
a. In a metro node Local:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the View by drop-down, select Storage Arrays.
b. In a metro node Metro:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the storage array.
iii. In the View by drop-down, select Storage Arrays.
2. In the Storage Arrays view, select an array, and then select MORE > Show Logical Units.
The Show Logical Units screen lists all LUNs discovered on the array. The total number of LUNs appear in the upper-left
corner of the screen. If you do not see the expected number of LUNs, rediscover or forget any unreachable arrays.
● To view the properties of a LUN, click the LUN name link to open the properties dialog box.
● The ALUA Support column indicates if ALUA is supported on the array. If ALUA is not supported on the array, None
displays for the ALUA-specific properties. For more information about ALUA, see the array vendor's documentation.
