i*m using Hyperscale x nodes that are also Vsaproxys
when adding a new Fcdisk to the node it will not be discoverd automatically.
Is there an option to let discover the Hyperscale node the SAN Disk.

Hyperscale x does not detect Sandisk automatically

Hi Chr…
HS-X is build on Linux OS, therefore you need to rescan the scsibus to discover/create new devices.
automatic scan is only done during reboot or when mapping a new target, but not a new LUN.
try something like :
scan-scsi-bus.sh -r -f -m -w –hosts=$(cd /sys/class/fc_host;ls -xd *|sed -e ‘s/ /,/g’)
this re-scans the targets connect to FC Hosts only.
If you map LUNs with very high LUN IDs, you might also need to modify the
/etc/default/grub and for LUN support of up to 4096 LUNS, add scsi_mod.max_luns=4096 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX parameter
I also created a workflow, that daily runs this scsi-scan on all HS-X Nodes to update the SCSI configuration, in case new LUNs have been introduced.

would this be an option
copy the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script to the /etc/cron.daily/

Hi, I believe that soon I will face the same situation. I would like to confirm your scenario.
When you say that HSX does not see the LUNs automatically, is this during a backup operation? I believe you are using SAN transport mode, right?
You'll have to manually go to the HSX nodes and scan the SCSI bus everytime there's a backup operation?

Hi Klaus,
Is this a supported solution? I mean, customizing those steps would interfere with support? Shouldn't this be ready from factory? It looks like a workaround...

Hello Klaus, can you share how you created that workflow to execute the rescan in the HSX nodes?
is the below worked for you ?
would this be an option
copy the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script to the /etc/cron.daily/
