Typically, it is mounted automatically by the system. + +You can use the echo command to scan each scsi host device as shown below. + +``` +# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host[n]/scan +``` + +When you run the above command that rescan everything, the three dash (“- – -“) refers the wildcard option. These values would be as follow. + +``` +# echo "c t l" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host[n]/scan +``` + +where + + * **c –** Channel on the HBA + * **t –** SCSI target ID + * **l –** LUN ID + * **n –** HBA number + + + +Run the below command to find all the host bus number on your system. + +``` +# ls /sys/class/scsi_host +host0 host1 host2 +``` + +Once you get the host bus number, run the following command to discover new disks. + +``` +# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan +# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan +# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan +``` + +Also, it can be scanned using “for loop” with a single command. + +``` +# for host in ls /sys/class/scsi_host/;do echo "- - -" >/sys/class/scsi_host/${host}/scan; done +``` + +You can check them using the **[ls command][2]** as mentioned at the beginning of the article. + +``` +# ls /dev/disk/by-id | grep -i "serial-hex of LUN" +``` + +### Method-2: How to Scan New LUNs and SCSI Disks on Linux Using the rescan-scsi-bus.sh Script + +Make sure you have already installed the “sg3_utils” package to use this script. Otherwise, run the following command to install it. + +For **RHEL/CentOS 6/7** systems, use the **[yum command][3]** to install sg3_utils. + +``` +# yum install -y sg3_utils +``` + +For **RHEL/CentOS 8** and Fedora systems, use the **[dnf command][4]** to install sg3_utils. + +``` +# dnf install -y sg3_utils +``` + +Now you can rescan the LUNs using the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script. + +``` +# ./rescan-scsi-bus.sh +``` + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://www.2daygeek.com/scan-detect-luns-scsi-disks-on-redhat-centos-oracle-linux/ + +作者:[Magesh Maruthamuthu][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://www.2daygeek.com/author/magesh/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://www.2daygeek.com/how-to-find-wwn-wwnn-wwpn-number-of-hba-card-in-linux/ +[2]: https://www.2daygeek.com/linux-unix-ls-command-display-directory-contents/ +[3]: https://www.2daygeek.com/linux-yum-command-examples-manage-packages-rhel-centos-systems/ +[4]: https://www.2daygeek.com/linux-dnf-command-examples-manage-packages-fedora-centos-rhel-systems/
