Updating rescan intervals
VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle periodically scans the system for updated
information. You can modify the rescan intervals to be faster or slower. A partial
scan is a scan of existing known objects and a full scan is a scan of known and
unknown objects, meaning that a search for new information is performed.
