NOTE: Global Rescan is not supported on non-RAID 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).
NOTE: The Global Rescan task updates the Information/Configuration subtab with any configuration changes. To update the tree view, click the server
name which is displayed above the tree view.
