Console Does Not Show Changes When Hardware is Added or Replaced

If you add new equipment or if you replace a failed device, such as a disk drive, tape drive power supply, or fan, the SANscape Console does not always show updated information. At times, the tree view and the other views associated with it do not reflect the actual status of a device.

If a new device is added and you want this device to be recognized before the next periodic scan, click Rescan in the Server View window. The server immediately rescans for the inventory, and the console updates its server inventory and presents the result of any changes in the tree view. To ensure a timely inventory, perform a manual scan.

You might have to click Rescan more than once. When the server is in the process of a rescan and the console sends a request for the inventory, the server sends the console the server inventory at its last update, because it has not yet finished the current scan.
