Hello Julius, Thanks - but it doesn't seem to work. I installed sg3_utils and ran #scsi-rescan but that seemed to have done nothing for some reason. Cheers, Boris. On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 10:12 AM, Tnjulius wrote: > Hi Boris, > Just rescan the scsi host. > #scsi-rescan

[CentOS] getting a CentOS6 VM on VMware ESXi platform to recognize a new disk device

Hello all, Is there a way to recognize a hot-plugged disk (i.e., to get the system to recognize it and build the appropriate /dev/sd* device for the new device) without a reboot? Thanks. Boris. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org

Zep, Thanks - nothing insulting about asking questions. I did run this command as root as I would never run stuff like this as any other user (or, perhaps, I'd use sudo if so forced). dmesg did not seem to detect the device addition, no. Cheers, Boris. On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 10:32 AM, zep
