How to Rescan new LUN’s added in Linux, HP-UX, Aix, Solaris ?

HP-UX

1. Rescan the devices:

ioscan -fnC <disk|tape>

2. Generate device files:

 insf -e

3. Verify the new devices:

 ioscan -funC <disk|tape>

AIX

1. Rescan the devices ):

 cfgmgr -vl fcsx

Where x is FC adapter number

2. Verify the new devices:

 lsdev -Cc <disk|tape>

Linux

The rescan in Linux is HBA-specific.

For QLogic:

echo scsi-qlascan > /proc/scsi/qla<model#>/<adapter instance>

For Emulex:

 sh force_lpfc_scan.sh lpfc<adapter-instance>

For each identified device, run the following:

echo scsi add-single-device <host> <channel> <ID> <lun> >   /proc/scsi/scsi

Solaris

1. Determine the FC channels:

 cfgadm -al

2. Force rescan :

 cfgadm -o force_update -c configure cx

Where x is the FC channel number

3. Force rescan at HBA port level:

 luxadm -e forcelip /dev/fc/fpx

4. Force rescan on all FC devices:

 cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev

5. Install device files:

 devfsadm

6. Display all Qlogic HBA ports

 luxadm -e port

7. Display HBA port information

 luxadm -v display <WWPN>

8. Display HBA port information

 luxadm -e dump_map

Notes If one specific SANclient is missing a drive, please verify that your zoning is correct. Please also make sure the host initiator and VTL™s target ports are showing online via the Fibre Channel switch. (Check HBA link light and check the cable.)
