Rescan physical devices

iscon rescandevices -s <server-name> [-u <username> -p <password>] [-a <adapter-range>] [-i <scsi-range>] [-l <lun-range>] [-L] [-X <rpc- timeout>]

iscon rescandevices --server-name=<server-name>

[--server-username=<username> --server-password=<password>]

[--adapter-range=<adapter-range>] [--scsi-range=<scsi-range>] [--lun- range=<lun-range>]

[--sequential] [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]

Description:

This command allows you to rescan the physical resource(s) on the specified server to get the proper physical resource configuration.

‐a (‐‐adapter‐range) is the adapter or adapter range to be rescanned. The default is to rescan all adapters, if it is not specified. For example: ‐a 5 or ‐a 5‐10

‐i (‐‐scsi‐range) is the starting SCSI ID and ending SCSI ID to be rescanned. The default is to rescan all the SCSI IDs if the range is not specified. For example: ‐i 0‐5

‐l (‐‐lun‐range) is the starting LUN and ending LUN to be rescanned. The default is not to rescan any LUN if it is not specified. For example: ‐l 0‐10

‐L (‐‐sequential) is an option to rescan sequentially.

‐X (‐‐rpc‐timeout) is an option to specify a number between 1 and 30000 in seconds for the RPC timeout. The system will retry the command for the amount of time specified if the server does not respond. The default RPC timeout is 300 seconds.

Import disk

iscon importdisk -s <server-name> [-u <username> -p <password>] -i <guid> -I <ACSL> [-X <rpc-timeout>]

iscon importdisk --server-name=<server-name>

[--server-username=<username> --server-password=<password>]

--scsiaddress=<ACSL> --guid=<guid> [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]

Description:

This command allows you to import a foreign disk to the specified server. A foreign disk is a virtualized physical device containing VTL logical resources previously set up on a different VTL server. If the previous server is no longer available, the disk can be set up on a new VTL server and the resources on the disk can be imported to the new server to make them available to clients.
