Notice that there are two devices that show a Category of “Unassigned Device”
in the example
above. All devices must be in one of the following categories: Reserved by Virtual Device, Used
by Virtual Device, or Reserved by Device.
2.
Issue the following to rescan the SCSI bus (update each device’s category):
The “
rescandevices
” command may take up to 30 seconds to complete.
3.
Issue the “
getpdevinfo
” command once again.
4.
Reinspect the device categories. Ensure that the devices that were “Unassigned Device” are
now either “Reserved by Virtual Device” or “Used by Virtual Device.”
