Zfcp_san_disc, and many other tools typically only display what Linux already knows about. If you start with the device offline, then it'll bring the device online and show you what is currently in the fabric. If you start with the device online, then it shows what is in /sys and that's it. It doesn't try to update anything.
Each device has a file that can be used to rediscover changes in the fabric: echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/<bus_id>/port_rescan This is nondisruptive. You don't have to toggle the device off and on. I don't have access to an SP4 system at the moment to see if any of the tools use port_rescan.
