Rescan Controller

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features"

On SCSI controllers, a rescan updates configuration changes (such as new or removed devices) for all components attached to the controller. For information
on when you may want to do a rescan, see "Rescan to Update Storage Configuration Changes."


To rescan a controller:
1. Expand the tree view to display the controller object.
2. Select the Controller object.
3. Click the Configuration/Information subtab.
4. Select Rescan from the Controller Tasks drop-down menu.
NOTE: Different controllers support different features. For this reason, the tasks displayed on the Tasks drop-down menu can vary depending on which
controller is selected in the tree view. If no tasks can be performed because of controller or system configuration limitations, then the Tasks drop-down
menu displays No Task Available.
NOTE: Rescan Controller is not supported on non-RAID SCSI controllers. You must reboot the system before Storage Management can see configuration
changes on non-RAID SCSI controllers. Otherwise, configuration changes are not reflected in the Storage Management graphical user interface (GUI).
