First sorry about my pool english.. When I attached a volume to the ubuntu-server12.04 instance by "nova volume-attach...." ,I used "fdisk -l" and I found the instance did not defect the volume. Then I reboot the instance,and also "fdisk -l",now the instance detectd the volume. But ,if I use centos or cirros ,it did not need to reboot. How to solved this problem? Thank you.

Can you please check how you attach the volume to the instance: if the volume is attach with the path /dev/hd$ the volume will be visible only after a reboot. Please try to attach the volume like this: nova volume-attach <instance id=""> <volume id=""> /dev/vdc

I hope it'll resolve the issue.

grep mpt /sys/class/scsi_host/host?/proc_name

echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/scan

Run the first command. Should give u your host numbers to scan. Example host0 1 or 2. Run second one the rescan for new disks/volumes.

or you can perform the following command to cover both hosts: ls /sys/class/scsi_host/ | while read host ; do echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/$host/scan ; done

or do this command which will cover all hosts:

ls /sys/class/scsi_host/ | while read host ; do echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/$host/scan ; done
