rescanning FC LUNs ( RH ES Linux 2.1, qlogic)

[Morten Lange]

Hi

I hope therea are any FC-linux experts her

I run some boxes with qlogic fibrechannel hostbus adapters (HBAs ), and they seem to work well, except I can't find a way to find new
devices without rebooting.
I've tried the trick about poking into proc, but to no avail :

echo "scsi add-single-device 0 1 2 3" >/proc/scsi/scsi

with the numbers replaced accordingly. ( host, channel Id, lun)

This did work in roughly the same environment on an cpqfc HBA , but qla2300 refuses to see anything new until after a reboot ( rmmod and modprobe might have done the trick also, but at the moment I don´t have the opurtunity to run it as a module.

I´ll gladly provide more info, if that can help.

Best Regards,
Morten
