Discovery

This page shows currently known target devices and allows manual

discovery of new target devices.

Figure 41 Discovery
Page

From the Discovery Menu, select the SCSI bus to view/discover devices

specific to that bus. The

button activates discovery for all the ports

and buses, or for just the selected port or bus. When the discovery process

is activated, it is performed according to the settings configured in the

iSCSI and SCSI configuration pages.

Caution:

Discovery should not be used when SCSI command or

I/O operations are in progress.
