Rescan for Fibre Transport devices from a SAN client
A rescan operation tries to find new FT devices from the client. If the scan detects new FT devices, NetBackup adds them to the database. A rescan operation is a time- and compute-intensive operation. It may not discover new devices (especially if the client system requires a restart and you do not restart it).
Depending on the operating system capabilities and the HBA driver and its settings, the scan may search for new Fibre Channel devices.
To rescan SAN clients
- Open the NetBackup web UI and sign into the primary server.
- On the left, select Storage > SAN clients.
- Select a client.
- Select Actions > Rescan FT devices.
Monitor the following status of the operation:
Initiated
Client system must be restarted
Failure
- If required, restart the client system.
