Scanning Storage
Adapters
You must perform a
rescan operation each time you reconfigure your storage setup.
You can scan by using the
vSphere Client
or the esxcli storage core adapter
rescan
command. esxcli storage core adapter
rescan
supports the following additional options.- -a|--all or -A|--adapter=<string>– Scan all adapters or a specified adapter.
- -S|--skip-claim– Skip claiming of new devices by the appropriate multipath plug-in.
- -F|--skip-fs-scan– Skip filesystem scan.
- -t|--type– Specify the type of scan to perform. The command either scans for all changes (all) or for added, deleted, or updated adapters (add, delete, update).
The following command scans a specific adapter
and skips the filesystem scan that is performed by default.
esxcli <conn_options> storage core adapter rescan --adapter=vmhba33 --skip-claim
The command returns an indication of success or
failure, but no detailed information.
