VMware, Linux: scan your scsi host without rebooting


Warning: Use of undefined constant user_level - assumed 'user_level' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /homepages/3/d98111892/htdocs/insanelabs/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-google-analytics/ultimate_ga.php on line 524

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/scan

Replace host# with number of your scsi adapter… sda would be host1, sdb host2 and so on.
