Global Rescan

A global rescan updates configuration changes (such as new or removed

devices) for all SCSI controllers and their attached components. For

information on when you may want to do a rescan, see Rescan to Update

Storage Configuration Changes.

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.

NOTE: On the CERC SATA1.5/6ch controllers, if you pause a check consistency that

is being performed on a virtual disk, then the virtual disk state changes to

Resynching Paused. Performing a Global Rescan while a virtual disk is in

Resynching Paused state may cause the check consistency to resume. In this case,

the virtual disk state changes to Resynching.

To do a global rescan:

Select the

Storage

tree view object.

Click the

Information/Configuration

subtab.

Select

Global Rescan

from the

Global Tasks

drop-down menu.

Click

Execute

Enable/Disable Smart Thermal Shutdown

By default, the operating system and server are turned off when the

PowerVault 220S and PowerVault 221S enclosures reach a critical temperature

of 0 or 50 degrees Celsius. Using the Enable Smart Thermal Shutdown task,

however, you can specify that only the enclosure, and not the operating

system and server be turned off when the enclosure reaches a critical

temperature.
