Scanning Disks

When VxVM rescans disks, it scans all attached disks for disk configuration changes. It also updates information on removable media, CD-ROM drives, basic volumes, file systems, and drive letters.

Rescanning disks can take several minutes, depending on the number of hardware devices installed.

    • You should rescan disks when you remove disks from or add disks to a computer.
    • From the Actions menu, select Rescan.
      • A dialog box comes up with the message “Getting hardware configuration. Please wait.” The box also displays a progress bar showing the percentage of completion for the rescan process.
