--------------------

If you have added one to many disks to a Linux server or added partitions to an existing disk and the operating system has not yet recognized them, you might need to rescan the SCSI bus. You could simply reboot the Linux server, but that's usually not an option for production systems.

Below are three different methods for rescanning SCSI devices that I have tested on RHEL 5 and RHEL 6.

### Rescan Specific SCSI Device ###

This command consistently rescanned the specific SCSI device.

Replace **$DEVICE** with sda, sdb, sdc, etc.

echo 1 > /sys/block/$DEVICE/device/rescan

### Rescan Entire Host SCSI Bus ###

This command **never** consistently rescanned the host SCSI bus.

Replace **$HOST** with the SCSI host you want to scan which could be **host0**, **host1**, **host2**, etc. Typically **$HOST** is **host0**.

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/$HOST/scan

The triple dashes, **- - -**, are wildcards that rescan every channel, every target, and every LUN on the specified SCSI host.

### Rescan Specific SCSI Device (Deprecated) ###

This command **never** consistently rescanned the specific SCSI bus, and it has been [deprecated by Red Hat][].

**Host:Bus:Target:LUN** (0:0:2:0 in this example) might be different for your system. Run `ls -al /dev/disk/by-path` to find it.

echo "scsi remove-single-device 0:0:2:0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
    echo "scsi add-single-device 0:0:2:0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
