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, Is there a way to recognize a hot-plugged disk (i.e., to get the system to recognize it and build the appropriate /dev/sd* device for the new device) without a reboot? Thanks. Boris.

Hi Boris, Just rescan the scsi host. #scsi-rescan #if you have sg3_utils package #lsscsi Or #echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host[n]/scan Julius > On Nov 4, 2015, at 15:31, Boris Epstein <borepstein at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello all, > > Is there a way to recognize a hot-plugged disk (i.e., to get the system to > recognize it and build the appropriate
