How Do I Rescan a Controller for New Devices?
Here are some situations in which you might add physical devices to or
remove physical devices from your hardware setup:
• You’ve purchased additional disk drives and wish to add them to one or
more controllers.
• You want to remove a cabinet or a disk array from one location to
install it on another server or workstation.
• You are reconnecting devices to different controllers.
• You are replacing a failed drive.
There may be many others as well. The point is, whenever you make any of
these physical changes in your hardware setup, you must allow RAID
EzAssist to rescan the controllers to update its internal configuration to
match the actual configuration.
❑
Select a Controller.
If you have multiple Mylex Disk Array Controllers installed, you only need
to rescan those controllers that have had a configuration change.
If you have only one Mylex Disk Array Controller installed, skip the next
two actions below:
☞
Use the Esc key if necessary to return to the Select a
Controller screen.
☞
Use the arrow key to select the controller you want to rescan,
then press Enter.
❑
Rescan the Controller.
Rescanning is carried out using the Rescan for New Devices option on the
main menu (Figure 4-80).
