Users Guide

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).
