Rescanning the Controller

When you make a change by physically adding or removing drives or units, you can have 3DM rescan the controller to update the list of units and available drives shown on the Maintenance page. For more information, see Adding a Drive.

This is useful in a variety of circumstances. For example, if you added new drives to the controller, you can make them available by rescanning the controller.

Rescanning checks all ports on the controller. It then updates the status of all ports, so if error conditions have been fixed, the status is updated to reflect that.

For more details about how the Rescan feature works, see the information in the Reference section, under Maintenance Page.

To rescan the controller

In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance.
On the Maintenance Page, click Rescan Controller.

3DM scans the controller for information about units and drives, and updates the information shown on the Maintenance page.

You are warned that any configuration changes you have made in 3BM will be lost.

Type Y for Yes.

The controller is rescanned.
