Using SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES
 Use this utility if you add new devices after you boot your server and the
devices do not then appear with the LIST DEVICES command.
 If devices have been added, but the drivers aren’t loaded in startup.ncf,
use SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES after loading the drivers to register the
devices with the system.
 After you boot the server, if NetWare
®
detects new devices, SCAN FOR
NEW DEVICES registers the devices with the operating system. It does
not return a message to the screen.
 This command scans only LUN0 of SCSI adapters. To scan all LUNs of
SCSI adapters, use SCAN ALL. However, SCAN ALL should be used
only when you know that there is an undetected device on a LUN other
than LUN0. SCAN ALL may take far more time for to execute than does
SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES. See “SCAN ALL” on page 176.
 SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES does not produce any output.
 If you remove a Hot Plug mirrored disk without bringing down the server,
you must execute SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES as soon as you remove
the disk. This lets the system know that the remaining disk in the mirrored
pair is no longer synchronized with a mirrored partner. If you unmirror the
disk before removing it, you do not need to run SCAN FOR NEW
DEVICES.
