This process can be executed using either Web Console or the stgxfwcmsetdev command.
Refer to "Add/Reload Device" in the Web Console Guide for information on the operating procedures of Web Console.
Note
Device information on the Managed Server must briefly be stored in the repository.
The time required for this operation depends on the total number of devices defined on the Managed Server. If the number of devices is large, perform this operation while the CPU load and I/O load are both low. As a guideline, each operation takes about 0.5 seconds per device (or partition) under no-load conditions.
For a device that is part of an LVM, a volume group and a logical device are fetched, but the physical device which constitutes a logical device is not.
No information is obtained for a volume group is inactive when the operation is executed. When a backup is in progress a volume group which is registered as a backup volume becomes inactive, so it would not be detected by this operation. Do not issue an instruction to delete a volume in use.
