Rescanning HBA takes a long long time

Hey everyone,

I have an ESXi 5.0.0 build 1311175 host taking forever to rescan the HBA's.  I first noticed this when I provisioned NetApp storage to it through the plugin and what use to take 5 minutes now takes >35 minutes because a host rescan.  I also noticed a reboot of the host, wouldn't rejoin vCenter for 45 minutes.  I believe all three of these issues are related but I am not sure what to check.

This is using iscsi on a FAS3220.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew
