By default, the utility re-scans the QLogic FC adapters for new LUNs.

2.5.2 Command Line Options

-al, --allow-lip

Allows the utility to issue the loop initialization processor (LIP) whenever required. By default, the LIP is not issued, even if it is required for scanning LUNs. If the utility does not discover the necessity of LIP, this option is ignored.

-cl, --current-luns

Displays current LUNs on the system.

-e, --extended-scan

Rescans the LUNs to identify any change in attributes of existing LUNs. This option can also be used in combination of scan/refresh or maximum LUNs.

-h, --help, ?

Prints the help text.

-i, --interactive

Invokes the menu-driven mode of the utility.

-is, --iscsi

Operates on ISCSI adapters. This option can be used in combination with any other supported option.

-m, --max-lun

Sets the maximum LUNs to be scanned.

-p, --proc

Uses the proc file system to perform LUN scanning on the 2.6 kernel. On a 2.4 kernel, the LUN scanning is based on proc file system only.

-s, --scan [-r|--refresh]

Re-scans all the devices connected to the QLogic adapter. To remove LUNs that are lost, use the -r|--refresh option.

The following examples each list two or three command options that you can use to perform specific operations. Enter only one command.

To re-scan all the adapters:

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -s

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh --scan

To re-scan and remove any lost LUNs:

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -s -r

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh --scan --refresh

To run a proc-based scan of all the adapters:

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -s -p

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh --scan --proc

To set the maximum LUNs to be scanned:

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -m 124

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -s -m 124

To identify any changes in attributes:

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -e

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh --extended-scan

To use the --extended-scan option in combination with scan/refresh and max LUNs:

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -e -s

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -e -r

# ./ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc.sh -e -s -m 120

1: ALL HOSTS SCAN

Scans all the QLogic adapters connected in the system. A message indicates the new LUN found.

2: ALL HOST SCAN & REFRESH

Scans all the QLogic adapters connected in the system and removes LUNs that no longer exist.

For example, if LUN 1 is seen on Host:2, Bus:0, and Device:0, a corresponding entry exists in /proc/scsi/scsi. For example:

Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01

If the LUN is removed, the system still shows the LUN present in /proc/scsi/scsi. To remove any lost LUNS, use this option to re-scan the adapter.

3: ALL HOSTS EXTENDED SCAN

Scans all the devices connected to QLogic adapters in the system. This rescans the devices whose disk size has changed.

4: SELECT HOST TO SCAN

Invokes the menu to select a specific QLogic adapter to be scanned. (See section 2.5.3.2.)

5: SET MAX LUNs TO SCAN (Current: 256)

Changes the maximum number of LUNs to be scanned. By default, the utility scans a maximum of 256 LUNs.

6: DISPLAY CURRENT LUNS

Shows the current LUNs attached to all QLogic hosts in the system.

7: QUIT
