adding disk on linux VM

[xybal]

Hi,

I have to add a new disk on a linux VM. When I add my disk all is OK, but I answer myself if there is a way to see it under the OS without rebooting ?

If yes what is the command (the linux is RedHat 3 and RedHat 4).

Thx

Maybe you want to search for this script first: rescan-scsi-bus.sh

Use 'find / -name "rescan-scsi-bus.sh" '.

Hi,

after adding a disk to the linux VM's, you have to run the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script.

This wil rescan all the scsi disks attched with out rebooting the VM.

You can find mode detailsof this in the below link.

I run

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan

and dont have any problems, however RedHat do warn against it.

Cheers,
