Hi group, I have a dead path to a Lun that used to exist but has been completely removed from the server and SAN. When I do a rescan in vSphere client it still shows up as an available Lun and my vmkwarning logfile is expanding exponentially because of it's presence. The Lun in question is part of a 3 server shared group on the SAN, 2 hosts removed it with no problems but the last host I can't seem to get rid of it. I've even tried masking it but to no avail. When I issue the "esxcfg-rescan vmhba2" command I get:
Device is in use by worlds:
World # of Handles Name
4096 1 console
and can't figure out what or where this "world" is. It's not a VM and from the output you would assume it had something to do with the COS. Does anybody have any insight (other than a reboot) as to how to get rid of this Lun?
Excerpt from vmkwaring file:
