Getting "write error: Invalid argument" when scanning for storage devices

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Problems scanning for new storage devices.
  • We always were able to scan disks using the following syntax, but am now getting errors:

    echo "0 0 17" >  /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan 
    -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    
  • Need to understand what has changed in RHEL that makes this command no longer work.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
