Add Disk(s) Method
In this mode a bus scan will always attempt to bring new drives on-line and preserve any existing
RAID information that has previously been stored on them. If the disk(s) had previous information
stored on them, the volume(s) on the disk(s) will be visisble in Storage Console after the
completion of the bus scan. Note that while in this mode, intelligent enclosures will not
automatically present new disks in the Storage Console, a manual bus scan will be required even
with an intelligent enclosure in order to bring the disk(s) on line. Add Disk(s) method supports
array roaming and is the method used for the initial boot scan.
Performing a Bus Scan using the Add Disk(s) Method
