I am working on a script to automatically remediate detached LUNs. I'm following these two KB articles:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2032690 Attempts to bring online a storage device recovered from PDL fail if Storage I/O Control is enabled (2032690)
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004605 How to unmount a LUN or detach a datastore device from ESXi hosts (2004605)
One of them calls for restarting StorageRM as a way to finally clear out logs such as the following:
Skipping device naa_ID either due to VSI read error or abnormal state
I've tried it, perhaps ill-advisedly, on a production host with no apparent problems. I wanted to check with the community. Are there any problems with restarting this service in production?
