Discovering MDisks

You can have the cluster rescan the fibre-channel network. The rescan discovers any new managed disks (MDisks) that might have been added to the cluster and rebalances MDisk access across the available controller device ports.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Perform the following steps to discover MDisks:

  1. Click Work with Managed Disks > Managed Disks in the portfolio. The Viewing Managed Disks panel is displayed.
  2. Select Discover MDisks from the task list and click Go. The Discovering Managed Disks panel is displayed. The newly discovered MDisks are displayed in a table on the Discovering Managed Disks panel.
  3. Click Close to return to the Viewing Managed Disks panel.
