Hi, Is there something OS related (CentOS 5.1) I would need to do for a CLI created array to become visible to the OS after the array is created and initialized? I don't want to reboot...
If your not currently using the array, you may be able to unload the module and reload it.
If the devices from that array show up as SCSI devices you may be able to interface with the /proc/scsi/scsi interface to add the new volume
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
and use
echo "scsi add-single-device X X X X" >/proc/scsi/scsi
if I'm not mistaken, thats deprecated in kernel 2.6, the proc interface is no longer supposed to be used for that sort of thing, there's a new /sys mechanism. IIRC< that worked in RHEL3, but not in RHEL4, at least not with various system provided FC drivers I tried it with.
