Asynchronously doing multiple hardware scans

I am trying to scan hardware asynchronously but as soon as the first HardwareScan method on RecordingServer gets called all other calls is Idle. I have only one scan in progress and the others are Idle.

Here is the code snippet

private async Task HwScanAsync(MyHardware hardware, UpdateScanHWTasksDelegate updateScanHWTasksDelegate, int taskID)
            {
                RecordingServer recordingServer = ManagementServer.RecordingServerFolder.RecordingServers.Single(server => server.Name == hardware.RecordingServer);
                
                    var scan = recordingServer.HardwareScan(
                        hardware.Address,
                        _autoDetectHardware ? null : hardware.HardwareID,
                        hardware.User,
                        hardware.Password,
                        false);
                    Console.WriteLine("Scaning: " + hardware.Address);
                    while (scan.State != StateEnum.Error && scan.State != StateEnum.Success)
                    {
                        await Task.Delay(3000);
                        scan.UpdateState();
                            Console.WriteLine($"Scaning Status for {hardware.Address} is {scan.State}");
                        
                    }
. . .

Is there a way to run some scans simultaneously, because, with each HardwareScan call, the status is Idle if there is already a running scan?

Basically, I have a list of devices I want to add to the recording servers and I want to run, for example, 5 scans but they are executed one by one…

And another thing, is it possible to cancel/stop running HardwareScan?

No, this is a limitation of the Recording Server you can only do one HardwareScan at the time. Also, it is currently not possible to stop a HardwareScan.
