Making New Volumes display in PowerFlex Manager after adding them into the Presentation Server -
1. In PowerFlex Manager, click the 'Resources' menu at the top of the user interface.
2. Find and check the box next to the gateway.
3. Click the button 'Run Inventory' at the top and close the pop-up box.
4. Wait for the job to be complete.
5. Go to the 'Services' section and then select the service where the drives were added.
6. On the right under 'Service Actions', select the 'Update Service Details' button.
7. On the menu, verify the operating system and SVMs are using the correct credentials from your credential manager and then select next. Give it some time to reach out to all the servers.
8. On the next screen, verify that it sees the new drives and select next. In our example, there was nothing changed, but you should see an inventory change in a live environment.
