VMware扩展磁盘如何不需重启系统

在虚拟机VMware中我们有时候需要添加新的虚拟磁盘或给已有虚拟磁盘扩容（expand），在新增磁盘或磁盘扩容后，Linux系统并不能马上识别到。也就是说你看不到磁盘空间变化（使用fdisk -l查看），这时我们可以通过重启系统（reboot）解决这个问题，但是很多时候，我们并不想在存储扩容时重启系统，因为这样会影响到现有的业务系统。那么为什么新增磁盘或磁盘扩容后，Linux系统识别不到呢？这个是因为连接存储设备的SCSI总线需要重新扫描，才能识别到这些新的存储设备。下面测试一下在添加新的虚拟磁盘或给已有虚拟磁盘扩容如何操作才能不用重启系统1：VMware虚拟磁盘扩容如下所示，VMware虚拟磁盘扩容后，使用fdisk -l看不到任何变化[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

/sys/class/scsi_host/host0/proc_name:mptspi使用下面命令扫描SCSI总线[root@localhost ~]# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan本文永久更新链接地址
