I found something the other day that might help... I used it to add
new disks to a VM without a reboot.

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/vmware-add-a-new-hard-disk-without-rebooting-guest.html

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/scan
fdisk -l
tail -f /var/log/message

is the relevant piece.   note where it says 'host#' you'll need to
find the host number (all mine had 0,1,2); I can't swear this won't
make your host catch on fire, burn to the ground, return as a zombie
and write bad checks in your name, but it seemed to work for me.
