Rescanning The 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 to perform a rescan, see Rescanning To Update Storage
Configuration Changes.
NOTE: Rescan controller is not supported on non-RAID SCSI controllers. You must reboot the system before
Storage Management can display configuration changes on non-RAID SCSI controllers. Otherwise, configuration
changes are not reflected in the Storage Management graphical user interface (GUI).
