disable LUN path

[Pilu1978]

Hi,

We have storage maintenance activity in our environment and we need to disable 2 out of 4 LUN paths of each LUN presented to a set of esx hosts.

How to disable lun paths using powercli.

Please help.

You can use the Set-ScsiLunPath cmdlet to disable and enable a specific path with PowerCLI: vSphere Documentation Center

Your maintenance will be on a Fabric ? If yes, take a look at this another thread to disable ptah for a specific HBA: Re: Disabling paths to migrate all FC storage connections to specified port on HBA

Came across this post looking for the same thing.   I needed to disable paths on only one hba for the whole cluster and this worked well.

get-cluster clustername | get-vmhost | Get-ScsiLun |  Get-ScsiLunPath | ?{ $_.Name -like "vmhba45*" } | Set-ScsiLunPath -Active:$false

I had cut over some fcoe paths to straight fc...I used this as well.

Get-Cluster clustername | Get-VMHost | Get-ScsiLun | Get-ScsiLunPath | ?{ $_.Name -like "*fcoe*" } | Set-ScsiLunPath -Active:$false

this worked because I found that the Get-ScsiLunPath cmdlet had a property name (and LunPath property as well) like this...
