Feature request:
Dynamic SCSI rescan functionality can be currently implemented by manually echoing values into the SCSI sysfs files. This is an extremely useful feature in enterprise scenarios, as a reload of the underlying driver(which does a SCSI rescan) is not practical as it is disruptive.

It would be ideal if the RHEL kernel provides a bundled SCSI rescan script which performs the following dynamic SCSI rescan functionalities:

1) Detect luns added to the host.

2) Remove luns from the host.

3) Resize existing luns on the host.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 5.3.

Are you looking for something like the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script from http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/scsidev/ ?

--- Additional comment from marting on 2008-10-16 07:39:56 EDT ---

Exactly. 

This could be made a part of the sg3_utils package. Are there any plans to include this in future RHEL kernels?

Please submit a request for enhancement via the standard support channel and let them bind the request with this bug.

I can add the script into Fedora on my own, so it will then appear in RHEL 6.

Dan - NetApp is a formal engineering Partner and therefore this bugzilla will serve as the official feature request I'll monitor (being their assigned partner manager).

--- Additional comment from andriusb on 2008-10-20 09:40:43 EDT ---

The RHEL 5.4 bug for this issue can be found at bug 467201.

--- Additional comment from dhorak on 2008-11-03 03:08:10 EDT ---

I have cloned this bug for Fedora Rawhide and made it block this bug. Dependency on the RHEL 5.4 original bug (auto created during cloning) is removed.
