Scanning the storage on the appliance

Use this command to scan the storage from each node (one at a time) for the appliance.

Warning:

Do not start the storage scan on the second node until the first has finished.

See How to configure the Access Appliance for the first time.

Note:

If the appliance has been re-imaged, you must perform a storage reset before you can perform this procedure.

To scan the appliance storage

  1. Log on to the Access Appliance shell menu of one of the appliance nodes.
  2. From the Main_Menu > Manage > Storage view, type the following command to scan the storage:

    Scan

    Wait for the Scan operation to complete on the current node.

  3. Repeat this procedure on the other node.

See Viewing the storage on the appliance.
