Good afternoon all,
i have an installation which has 7 scsi disks and i need to add 2 more to expand my LVM based partition,
when i run scsi-rescan-bus.sh it does not says anything about my 2 new scsi disks…
is this a known issue or VMware problem/bug?
Thank you in advance.
PS: Server is ESXi 5 ,Guest is SLES11 SP3 with latest patches.

i found a temporary solution but i would be thankful if someone could help me out…
here is a “dirty” fix
i know which id the new scsi disk uses so if i issue:
echo “scsi add-single-device 0 0 8 0” > /proc/scsi/scsi
then i can see the new hdd and create partition and use LVM on it…
regards,
Michael.
also discovered that rescan-scsi-bus.sh script has -w switch which scans ID 0-15…
Hope that this will help someone else… 
Michael.
Hi Michael,
thanks for sharing that solution - having to activate “wide scsi” sure doesn’t come to mind as a first thing…
Regards,
Jens
