Discovering disks
The discover disks operation scans all of the SCSI devices connected to both the nodes in the cluster. When you add new storage to your devices, you must scan for new SCSI devices. You only need to issue the command once and all of the nodes discover the newly added disks. The discover disks operation updates the device configuration without interrupting the existing I/O activity.
To discover the new disks:
- Prerequisites:
Disks must be initialized and discovered by the cluster before you can add them to a storage pool.
Add the selected disks to an existing pool or specify a new storage pool.
- On the Infrastructure page, on the Disks tab click Discover disks.
- View the Recent Activity panel for the status of the task.
