Issue with re-scanning for volumes on ESXi 5

So I have an interest problem not sure if it is a function of ESXi 5 or not. But I have Dell EqualLogic PS4100 and I originally used IP as my access type but decided to switch to initiator name. So I removed all access to the volumes on the EqualLogic array. When I do a rescan all of those volumes still appear though.

Anyone know why this might be? So far the only fix is to reboot the host. But that is a hassle to migrate all VMs and then wait for a reboot.

Thanks.

Hello.

Check out http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2011/11/best-practice-how-to-correctly-remove-a-lun-from-an-esx-host... for some good info on this and the correct procedure to remove EQ volumes.

Good Luck!

That is funny the VMware tech support guy said just to remove the static discovery info then rescan and it worked. Thanks!
