A system administrator has added a new LUN and is unable to see the storage from a server. Which of the following should the system administrator perform to see the newly created storage from the server?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. A disk rescan should be performed on the server. When a new LUN is presented from a SAN, the server's operating system does not automatically detect it. Performing a disk rescan (or storage adapter rescan) on the server forces the host bus adapters (HBAs) to query the SAN fabric for newly available LUNs, making them visible to the server's disk management utilities.

Answer

A. A LUN rescan should be performed on the SAN. A LUN rescan on the SAN is not a standard operation; the SAN presents LUNs, it does not 'rescan' itself for them in this context.

Answer

B. An fctraceroute should be performed on the server An fctraceroute is a diagnostic tool used to trace the path of a Fibre Channel frame through a fabric, useful for connectivity troubleshooting but not for discovering new LUNs.

Answer

C. An fcping should be performed on the SAN. An fcping is a diagnostic tool used to test Fibre Channel connectivity between two nodes, similar to IP ping, but does not discover new LUNs.
