+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #476571 +++ +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #467713 +++ +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #467201 +++ 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. --- Additional comment from dhorak on 2008-10-16 07:07:19 EDT --- 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? --- Additional comment from dhorak on 2008-10-16 08:39:04 EDT --- 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. --- Additional comment from andriusb on 2008-10-16 12:53:48 EDT --- 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.
