Thanks, Dan. I dug around some more and found this information that I will
try after hours tonight because I don't know what its impact on a live
system would be.
echo "scsi-qlascan" > /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/1
echo "scsi-qlascan" > /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/2
And then possibly,
echo "---" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan
echo "---" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
I will post my results later.
