시스템 reboot 없이 scsi device를 attaching 하기

It is possible to add or remove a SCSI device explicitly, or to re-scan an entire SCSI bus without rebooting a running system. Please see the Online Storage Reconfiguration Guide for a complete overview of this topic on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

With fibre attached storage, it is possible to issue a LIP (loop initialization primitive) on the fabric:

echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host#/issue_lip

Issuing a LIP (above) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is all that is needed to rescan fibre

attached storage. Once the LIP is issued, the bus scan may take a few seconds to complete.

Although present on previous releases, this feature is only fully supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5

With other SCSI attached storage, a rescan can be issued:

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/scan

Replace the # with the number of the SCSI bus to be rescanned.

In addition to re-scanning the entire bus, a specific device can be added or deleted for some

versions or Red Hat Enterprise Linux as specified below.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or 5

To remove a single existing device explicitly

# echo 1 > /sys/block//device/delete

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, or 5

To add a single device explicitly:

# echo "scsi add-single-device " > /proc/scsi/scsi

To remove a device explicitly:

# echo "scsi remove-single-device " > /proc/scsi/scsi

Where are the host, bus, target, and LUN numbers for the device,as reported in /sys (2.6 kernels only) or /proc/scsi/scsi or dmesg.

These numbers are sometimes refered to as "Host", "Channel", "Id", and "Lun" in Linux tool output and documentation.
