This option allows you to rescan all channels to detect new or removed disks and arrays.
To perform a rescan, select
Rescan All Channels
from the
Main
menu. The activity indicator in the
Information
field spins while the disks are being polled.
The
Rescan All Channels
option rescans all the channels, searching for new or removed disks, and rereads
the configuration information from each disk. Sometimes when a disk is offline, it can be brought online through
a rescan. Rescan also stops and then automatically resumes all tasks.
Note:
The
Disks
list shows the disks in the array as selected (green).
