Is there a Win32 API to do this programtically?

Are there new features in 2003 that eliminate the need to rescan drives that
come life on a SAN/NAS etc after reboot?

thanks,

Yes, you can programmatically rescan the bus. Check out the following KB
article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q308669

You can also look at diskpart.exe which is built in for 2003. Diskpart can
be used to issue a rescan through a script or command line.

I've found that HBA drivers aren't "up to speed" with 2003 yet, so I haven't
been able to rescan and find disks on my 2003 boxes. I always seem to need
to reboot to see the drives properly on 2003. Others might have different
experiences here, as I've been strictly using Emulex HBA's with EMC storage.

Regards,
John
