Performing a Rescan

If a new LUN becomes accessible through the adapter, then ESX Server registers this new virtual device
for use by virtual machines. If an existing LUN is no longer used and appears to be gone, then it is
removed from use by virtual machines.
Consider performing a rescan when:
• Any changes are made to storage disks or LUNs available to your ESX Server system
• Any changes are made to storage adapters
• New datastores are created
• Existing datastores are edited or removed
To perform a rescan:
1.
In the VI Client, select a host, and click the Configuration tab.
2.
Choose Storage Adapters in the Hardware panel, and click Rescan above the Storage Adapters
panel.
NOTE:
You can also select an individual adapter and click Rescan to rescan just that adapter.
The Rescan dialog box opens.
3.
To discover new disks or LUNs, select Scan for New Storage Devices.
If new LUNs are discovered, they appear in the disk/LUN list.
4.
To discover new datastores, select Scan for New VMFS Volumes.
If new datastores or VMFS volumes are discovered, they appear in the datastore list.
