Discovering Storage Devices 

The V-Switch default algorithm for storage devices discovery is using the SCSI 
command REPORT LUNS.  Certain storage devices either do not support this 
command or do not respond according to the SCSI standard.  To discover these 
devices, the REPORT LUNs command must be disabled.  If certain devices in 
the SAN are not being discovered by the V-Switch, use the CLI command 

device set 

to disable or re-enable device discovery via REPORT LUNs.
