2.对有数据库在运行的操作系统,禁止使用rescan-scsi-bus.sh 的-i选项来运行rescan-scsi-bus.sh,原因见:

Executing rescan-scsi-bus.sh -i ( LIP flag ) caused RAC Node to Hang (Doc ID 1645143.1)

What is LIP ( Loop Initialization Protocol ) ?

LIP scans the interconnect and causes the SCSI layer to be updated to reflect the devices currently on the bus.

A LIP is, essentially, a bus reset, and will cause device addition and removal.

This procedure is necessary to configure a new SCSI target on a Fibre Channel interconnect.

Bear in mind that issue_lip is an asynchronous operation. The command may complete before the entire scan has completed.

What LIP Reset may cause?

Loop Initialization Protocol method to scan the HBA’s can cause delay

and I/O timeouts if the HBA/Device is in use and can also remove devices unexpectedly.

Hence performing the scan using this method is not recommended on any production server where the SAN Devices are already configured in use.

This type of scan is recommended on a newly built server to scan all the LUNS/Devices.

LIP is normally executed when Server boot.
