Re-attach

However, if a device is physically removed and reinserted it shall be re-attached manually to continue using the device’s drives in RAIDs.

On host OS reboot the Device Manager restores all device drivers to states used before reboot. So, all devices are reattached automatically and corresponding drives become visible as BDEVs. Users do not need to attach devices again after each reboot/restart if the devices were attached before.

If a device is physically removed from the system its state is changed to LOST. If the same or another device is reinserted to the same physical slot the device is discovered by OS and is not re-attached to the xiRAID Opus automatically. Therefore such removed and reinserted device shall be re-attached by the “device-manager attach” command.
