Yesterday I inserted some hard disks in an already running server. I then noticed they weren't properly shown in the inventory of the specific server in UCS manager. Only after a reboot they did show up. Anyone experience with this and I wonder what would happen if you replace a failed disk. Replacing a disk should not be a reason to reboot!

Hello,
Can you please share the server model, UCSM version and RAID controller information ?

------------
Problem—After hot-swapping, removing, or adding a hard drive, the updated hard disk drive (HDD) metrics do not appear in the Cisco UCS Manager GUI.
Possible Cause—This problem can be caused because Cisco UCS Manager gathers HDD metrics only during a system boot. If a hard drive is added or removed after a system boot, the Cisco UCS Manager GUI does not update the HDD metrics.
---------------
Did you a chance to verify whether LSI RAID controller utility provides updated information after hot-swapping HDD ?

Padma,

Please open a TAC service request so that we can further investigate this behavior.
