Perform Storage Rescan in the vSphere Client
When you make changes in your SAN configuration, you might need to rescan your storage. You can rescan
all storage available to your host. If the changes you make are isolated to storage accessed through a specific
adapter, perform rescan for only this adapter.
Use this procedure if you want to limit the rescan to storage available to a particular host or accessed
through a particular adapter on the host. If you want to rescan storage available to all hosts managed by
your vCenter Server system, you can do so by right-clicking a datacenter, cluster, or folder that contains the
hosts and selecting Rescan for Datastores.
Prerequisites
Launch the vSphere Client and log in to a vCenter Server system.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Client, select a host and click the Configuration tab.
