What Can I Do If the New Configuration of an External LUN on a Heterogeneous Storage System Cannot Be Synchronized to the Local Storage System?

If information about the external LUN is not updated on the local storage system after operations on the heterogeneous storage system such as adding or deleting initiators or LUN mappings, or expanding external LUNs, manually scan the local storage system for LUNs.

Manually scan for LUNs using one of the following methods:

• Start an automatic LUN scan on DeviceManager.

• In CLI, run the scan remote_lun command.

You can log in to Huawei's technical support website (https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/) and enter the product model + document name in the search box to search for, browse, and download the desired documents.

1. Log in to the DeviceManager for the local storage system.

2. Go to the Automatic LUN Scan dialog box.

   1. In the navigation bar, choose System > External Storage.

   2. Based on Name and ESN, select the remote device that corresponds to the heterogeneous storage system. In the lower function pane, click Scan for External LUN.

      The OK dialog box is displayed.

3. Click OK to start an automatic LUN scan.

   DeviceManager then scans for LUNs, and synchronizes the configuration of the remote LUN with that of the external LUN and updates the number of remote LUNs.

4. Click Close.
