Hi For scanning new LUN, we don't required reboot. Kindly follow the below method: Step1: Download & Installed the sg3_utils packages. (Download the sg3_utils & sg3_utils_libs packages ) Note: download ?rescan-scsi-bus.sh? script also anywhere on RHEL4 based. #rpm ?ivh sg3_utils* Step2: Scan the new LUNs without rebooting the box. a.) Take the output of inq utils or fdisk ?l b.) Execute the following script & take the output of inq utils or fdisk ?l and compare with your previous out put. #/usr/bin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh (RHEL5) Or #./rescan-scsi-bus.sh (RHEL4) Thaks- Shankar On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 5:47 AM, Sanjay Chakraborty <sanjaychakrab@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Did you scan the new storage ?
