a2ScanDevices

Module: ADAPTECSCSI-MIB

OID (symbolic): ADAPTECSCSI-MIB::a2ScanDevices

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.795.2.6.1.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DmiInteger

Access: read-write

Description: Writing a non-zero value to this variable causes an immediate one time scan of the SCSI busses for all possible devices. This variable will always return the value zero when it is read.

What is a2ScanDevices?

This OID initiates a fresh scan of all SCSI buses to discover any new or previously undetected devices connected to the adapter. Administrators use this when new drives are added to the system or when devices fail to appear after a restart. For example, writing "1" forces a full bus scan, and the value will return to "0" once the scan completes.
