You didn't tell details about your hardware, but in general an "ioscan" and "insf -e ..." is enough.

You shouldn't need a reboot. What type of system do you have? And why are you still running 11.00, it is no longer supported. insf -e to rebuild, and ioscan -fnCdisk to verify the disk is there and alive.

Hi,
Beginning from 11.00 the following procedure must work:
ioscan -fnCdisk # to see new disk
insf -e -C disk # to install its files

If you don't see a disk after ioscan, either disk is not connected properly or you'll really have to reboot the computer.

hi,

no you should be fine as the disks in the rp7420 are hotpluggable and if its in storage attached then you should also be fine,

insert the disk, wait a few mimutes for the disk to spin up ok, then a full fresh ioscan followed by insf, of the hardware psth that shows the disk as unclaimed

Hi,

>>>>> if we add additional disk, is it necessary to reboot the server. please help some one on this issue <<<<<<<<

no need to reboot,

General producer in adding additional disk

Once you have added the new additional disk

# ioscan -fnC disk --> scanning for "new_additional_disk" look for "claimed "

# insf -e --> Installing device "driver"

# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s1
(Pls take Note option "f" used to force") --> should be carefull by typing new_PV_name only which wanna add , for more info man pvcreate"

# vgextend vg01 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s1
(Example :- above command shows "vg01' is your Volume group, and followed NEw_additional_disk"
