RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description shivamerla1 2016-01-19 04:59:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
rescan-scsi-bus.sh has testonline() function which issues TUR and retry 8 times with an interval of 1 second sleep. This is causing a huge delay in scanning large number of volumes if stand-by paths are present. TUR on stand-by paths return 2/4/0b check condition. This condition needs to be handled in rescan-scsi-bus.sh and avoid looping in testonline().

Also, udevadm settle calls are hanging and taking long time to complete.
Comment 2 shivamerla1 2016-01-19 05:18:29 UTC 
testonline().
while test $RC = 2 -o $RC = 6 && test $ctr -le 2; do
    if test $RC = 2 -a "$RMB" != "1"; then echo -n "."; let LN+=1; sleep 1
    else usleep 20000; fi
    let ctr+=1
    sg_turs /dev/$SGDEV >/dev/null 2>&1
    RC=$?
  done

I've had a brief discussion with upstream developers on this issue.  They are looking into this as well.
Comment 4 shivamerla1 2016-05-10 18:43:03 UTC 
Can you provide any update on this?. Was the change made?.
Comment 6 Ondrej Vasik 2016-06-30 05:38:19 UTC 
David left Red Hat - and we are in a process of searching for the new maintainer of sg3_utils package. Unfortunately - I don't see any clear pointer to David's discussion with upstream - based on lkml and recent activity, it seems sg3_utils is now maintained at https://github.com/hreinecke/sg3_utils ...
Comment 7 guazhang@redhat.com 2017-09-21 02:34:07 UTC 
Hello
