esxcfg-rescan vmhba2 shows nothing?

[peterlyttle]

Hello,

Currently I have 7 servers (ESX3.5u4-199239) all facing the same problem, each server has 2x HP FC2142SR HBAs each connected to a switch which is inturn connected to each controller on my EVA4400 (4 paths total). From Command View I can see all the WWNs from the hosts that are presented to the vDisks so I can rule out any zoning/presentation issue.

Here are some outputs -

esxcfg-rescan vmhba1

Rescanning vmhba1 ...

On scsi2, removing: 0:1 0:2 0:3.
On scsi2, adding: 0:1 0:2 0:3.

vmhba0:0:0 /dev/sda
vmhba1:0:1 /dev/sdb
vmhba1:0:2 /dev/sdc
vmhba1:0:3 /dev/sdd

We had been getting SCSI Reservation errors and the VMWare tech suggested rebooting all the hosts (which I did) but this didnt resolve the issue.

On reboot dmesg doesnt show any reservation errors nor does esxcfg-info | egrep -B5 "s Reserved|Pending"

Anyone have any ideas?

After another call with VMWare Support they have confirmed that this is a bug in the 199239.
