Hi,

After create the LUN and attach on the host You can run "echo 1 > /sys/block/device_name/device/rescan" to scan the disk or reboot your system.
After run "fdisk -l " to list all disks, you will see internal disks and luns.

Hey ! Thanks for your update.

And when i googled i saw something like below to add the lun to linux host.

Code:
echo > 1 "proc/scsi/sci"

Or

Code:
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host<ID>/scan

what about these ...

Thanks buddy ! Smilie

Hi,
Use the below commands to identify the newly added lun in the server.

dmesg|grep scsi
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host5/scan
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
fdisk -l
pvscan

Hi,

Red Hat documentain has the command "echo 1 > /sys/block/device_name/device/rescan", if not worked reboot your system.
