Removing Fiber LUNs

Hi all,

We are pulling a failing EVA 8300 from our ESX 4i infrastructure,  I have evacuated all LUNS onto new Symmetrix storage,  so was going to get all the old LUN labels and NAA id's to give to the storage team to reclaim on the old device.

I wanted to ask you if you had any input or suggestions on the safest way to procede.

I am proposing that we unpresent the LUNs on the storage side first to ensure that nothing in production falls offline,  then after verification that all the unpresented LUNs were in fact the old ones,  we can have them delete the LUNs and I can remove them from VC..

Or should I remove them from VC first and then have the storage team unpresent them ?  ... what do you recommend..

What I want to avoid is having a mislabeled LUN get deleted that in fact has production vms on it... I guess thats what the NAA's are for correct ?

Have a great friday,

chris
