Rescanning hosts to discover new hardware

You can rescan a host to discover new hardware. CommandCentral uses the results of a device rescan to help discover characteristics of hosts and the devices that are attached to them. For example, in CommandCentral Storage, you should rescan a host's device handles any time zoning or LUN masking changes are made.

You can rescan the following types of CommandCentral hosts:

  • Management Servers

  • Control Hosts

  • Standard Agents

To rescan one or more hosts to discover new hardware

  1. In the CommandCentral Console, click Settings > Host Management.

  2. In the Hosts table, check one or more hosts that you want to rescan.

  3. In the drop-down list, click Rescan Device Handles. Then, click Go.

  4. In the Rescan Device Handles dialog box, click OK.

  5. In the Task Submitted dialog box, click Yes to see if CommandCentral can rescan the host.

  6. Check the Status column to determine if the scan was successful.
