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.
