similar to: 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.

Hello all, I noticed that pirut is no longer part of CentOS6. Does anybody know if there is a different graphical interface to yum that came to replace it? Thanks. Boris.

Looking for help kind of in a hurry. I've been searching google but not finding any options. Is there any way to fix missing /dev paths to luns without rebooting? For example, see the output from lsscsi below. The only way I know to fix this is with a reboot, but I REALLY Need to avoid that if possible.

hi, all, is there any command(such asciiview) to view the picture under bash shell? I found the asciiview could meet my requirement, but how to install it on centos? thanks.

Hello all, The question is not necessarily CentOS-specific - but there are lots of bright people on here, and - quite possibly - the final implementation will be on CentOS hence I figured I'd ask it here. Here is the situation. I need to configure a Linux-based network load balancer (NLB) solution. The idea is this. Let us say I have a public facing load balancer machine with an public IP
