The host-based hot_add utility registers logical drives with the host operating system dynamically without requiring a system reboot.
Once logical drives have been created and logical drive-to-LUN mappings have been defined, this utility is run to ensure that the operating system is aware of the newly created logical drives.
The hot_add utility is installed as part of the host-agent package and is run on the host's operating system console.
Important: This utility is not available for all operating systems. Consult your Storage Manager Software Installation Guide for information on operating system availability and how to run this utility.
