Host Storage System Rescan Vmfs

Host Storage System Rescan Vmfs

Rescans for new Virtual Machine File Systems (VMFS).

The RefreshStorageSystem method also performs a VMFS rescan.

RescanVmfs may update the HostSystem.config.fileSystemVolume property. The Server performs asynchronous updates to the inventory. Use the PropertyCollector.WaitForUpdatesEx method to obtain the property changes.

Required privileges: Host.Config.Storage
