After attaching the disk run

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/scan
fdisk -l
tail -f /var/log/message

Replace host# with actual value such as host0. You can find scsi_host value using the following command:

ls /sys/class/scsi_host

How Do I Delete a Single Device Called /dev/sdc?
In addition to re-scanning the entire bus, a specific device can be added or existing device deleted using the following command:

# echo 1 > /sys/block/devName/device/delete
# echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/delete

How Do I Add a Single Device Called /dev/sdc?
To add a single device explicitly, use the following syntax:

# echo "scsi add-single-device  <strong>  " > /proc/scsi/scsi

Where,

  • <H> : Host
  • <B> : Bus (Channel)
  • <T> : Target (Id)
  • <L> : LUN numbers

For e.g. add /dev/sdc with host # 0, bus # 0, target # 2, and LUN # 0, enter:

# echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 2 0">/proc/scsi/scsi
# fdisk -l
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
