Hi,
Are the below sense codes sent by the FC storage to the ESXi or vice versa? (they repeat every few seconds)
The respective disk is not mounted but it shows as attached, can I detach it and is it considered a safe operation to do?
Not Consumed = not mounted right?

yes this means ESXi sent an inquiry or TUR (test unit ready) to the device and the storage array returned Logical Unit Not Supported this indicates that the device is permanently inaccessible to the ESXi host,
What Not Consumed means it is not in use by ESXi from a VMFS or vSAN perspective
Planned meant you meant to remove the device from the host, unplanned means just that, there was a mistake or another unplanned event
You can check by looking at the storage view and see if there are any impacted VMFS volumes
if it was associated with an existing datastore, check
check KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004684 for more details
hope this helps
