Adding existing vmfs storage without formatting

I have a target that has data on it, its iqn changed and therefor I was using the gui to add it back but wants to format it. Is there another way to add storage with formatting?

Thanks!

Try to rescan your storage with the LVM.EnableResignature option set to 1.

For more info on it, take a look at the updates section in the below PDF - pages 4/5.
