Scanning for Device Changes Rescan forces rediscovery of attached disk drives and enclosures. If both storage controllers are online, it also forces re-evaluation of the enclosure IDs of attached drive enclosures, so that IDs are assigned based on controller A's enclosure cabling order. A manual rescan may be needed after system power-up to display enclosures in the proper order. A manual rescan is not required to detect when drives are inserted or removed; the controllers do this automatically. When drives are inserted they are detected after a short delay, which allows the drives to spin up. When you perform a manual rescan, it temporarily pauses all I/O processes, then resumes normal operation. It can take up to two minutes for the enclosure IDs to be corrected. To rescan, as an Advanced Manage user: 1. Verify that both controllers are up. 2. Select Manage > Utilities > Disk Drive Utilities > Rescan. 3. In the Rescan For Devices panel, click Rescan. 184 HP StorageWorks 2000 Family Modular Smart Array reference guide • August 2008
