Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Commands to discover new LUNS with Brocade HBA Post 302388600 by zaxxon on Thursday 21st of January 2010 01:44:04 AM

I often wondered myself is there is something like that on Linux. I know a similar command from AIX which is cfgmgr and should be like ioscan - it can be run and just finds everything newly discovered and makes the device ready for use.

Rosetta Stone for Unix shows following tools:
Quote:
udev (2.6+)
udevtrigger
modprobe
kerneld
insmod
hotplug
cardctl
Maybe one of them might help you. If it is not hot pluggable, you will have to turn off the box anyway and so with it will check for new hardware at boot (don't ask me how to trigger this, but if you find out, let us know here please).
If it is hot pluggable, maybe try with something like that command "hotplug", idk, sorry.

NAME
vmxnet - vmware kernel module SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmxnet DESCRIPTION
This is a Linux kernel device driver module that drives VMware's fast networking device. As it is backed by real (virtual) hardware, it should be automatically loaded by hotplug or udev as needed. For best performance, it is recommended to enable TSO on all interfaces driven by vmxnet using ethtool. The shell code to do this might look like this: if which ethtool >/dev/null 2>&1; then for ethif in `ifconfig -a | grep ^eth | cut -d' ' -f1`; do ethtool -K $ethif tso on >/dev/null 2>&1 done fi The VMware backend may present the fast networking device as an AMD vlance device instead of the actual vmxnet device.
