Scanning New Hard Drives (SCSI Only)When a SCSI array is powered
on, the controller scans all physical drives that are connected through
drive channels. Unlike FC and SATA arrays, if a SCSI array has completed
initialization and then a physical drive is connected, the controller
does not automatically recognize the new drive until the next controller
reset. This difference in behavior is due to differences between Fibre
Channel and SCSI architectures and protocols.
If a drive fails, the Scan SCSI Drive button is also displayed on the Physical Drive window. You can select a physical drive, select View, and click Scan SCSI Drive from the View Physical Drive window. If the scan was successful, the drive is appropriately displayed and made available. |
