CentOS - Nov 2015 - getting a CentOS6 VM on VMware ESXi platform to recognize a new disk device

Hello Julius,

Thanks - but it doesn't seem to work.

I installed sg3_utils and ran
#scsi-rescan

but that seemed to have done nothing for some reason.

Cheers,

Boris.

      Dumb question: did dmesg even bother to notice *something* was attached?

possibly dumb question, possibly unintentionally insulting your
intelligence...
you know that when he said "run # scsi-rescan" that meant 'type in
"scsi-rescan" as the root user', right?  and not
'#scsi-rescan'?
#anything will always appear to do nothing as the shell thinks you're
typing in a comment.    I only ask because I've never seen anyone
respond with "I ran #command".
