Once a new arrived LUN mapped we will do rescan by "echo '- - -' > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan".

I was referring to a rescan of the scsi device,

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/com.ibm.linux.z.lhdd/lhdd_t_fcp_wrk_rescan.html

not a scan of the Scsi_Host.
The latter likely keeps the old scsi device with its old properties being oblivious to the volume remapping on the storage target; it's about discovering new scsi devices previously not being known to Linux.

After rescan only the scsi_id tool give the right serial id, udevadm still got the prvious one.
I have monitor the udev event by udevadm monitor while mapping a new LUN to the host, who will reuse the original path. No add event is triggerred, only dm-X emits a change event.
But if the original path is deleted(removed) then add event will be triggerred.

Flush the old WWID could make the WWID correct but the size is still incorrect as following. And 36005076300810eadf800000000000155 is actually 5GB.

likely same reason as above

I built the tool using latest code and tried both attribute_id and getuid_callout. The issue exist in both configuration.


Dear list,
We have a FC storage and using multipathd to manager the FC paths.
I've met an issue in this environment. The following is how to recreate the issue.

=======
1. Map a LUN to host with LUN ID 0,
2. rescan fc_host, a new path will be found by multipath.
3. Unmap LUN 0.  path will failed as following.
[root@localhost sys]# multipath -ll

4. Map another LUN which have different ID_SERIAL but with the same LUN ID(0).
Did you "rescan" the SCSI device via sysfs to let Linux know that this
is now in fact a different device?
AFAIK, Linux decodes SCSI sense data for LUNs remapped on the storage
target and emits a udev event, but I'm not aware of any default udev
rule that would actually react. The kernel itself does not react other
than creating the uevent.
