Rescanning The Connector
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
On a SCSI controller, the Rescan task rescans the controller connectors to verify the currently connected
devices or to recognize new devices that have been added to the connectors. Performing a rescan on a
connector is similar to performing a rescan on the controller. For information on scheduling a rescan, see
Rescanning To Update Storage Configuration Changes.
NOTE: Rescan is not supported on non-RAID SCSI controllers. 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).
