✨ NAME ✨

ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc — bestie, it scans for newly added LUNs. That's the whole job. No cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc [OPTIONS]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Dynamic TGT-LUN Discovery Utility 👑

okay so. This utility scans for newly added LUNs. That's it, that's the plot. And the iconic part? After you add new LUNs, you do not need to unload the QLogic FC driver and then load it again, and you do not need to reboot the system. Not the reboot. Absolutely not. 🎀

To begin scanning the LUNs, issue the following command:

# /usr/sbin/ql-dynamic-tgt-lun-disc

💅 the flags 💅

  • -al, --allow-lip — LIP is not issued by default, even if it's required for scanning new LUNs. Setting this option allows the utility to issue LIP. So like, if you need it, you have to ask for it. 🙈
  • -cl, --current-luns — Displays LUNs currently present. A little vibe check of what's already there. ✨
  • -e, --extended-scan — Use this option as "-e | --extended-scan" to rescan LUNs. This will identify any change in attributes of existing LUNs. This option can be used in combination of scan/refresh or max luns. 🔥
  • -h, --help, ? — Prints this help message. The classic. The blueprint. 🫶
  • -i, --interactive — Use this option to use the menu driven program. Pick your own adventure, bestie. 🌸
  • -is, --iscsi — Use this option to operate on ISCSI HBAs, this option can be used in combination of any other supported option. 🦋
  • -m, --max-lun — To set the maximum LUNs to be scanned. Setting the limits, we love a boundary. 💜
  • -p, --proc — Use PROC file system for LUN scanning. 😌
  • -r, --refresh — To refresh, that is remove LUNs that are lost, use the options "-r|--refresh". This will remove the LUNs which no more exist. Ghost LUNs? Evicted. 👋
  • -s, --scan [ -r|--refresh ] — The QLogic LUN scan utility re-scans all the devices connected to the QLogic HBA. Full main character energy. 👑
