Problem withstorage rescan

We have two ESX server 3.01 which I'm configuring.

They access a SAN Storage .

I've presented 2 LUNs to the hosts and did a storage rescan . It went fine and the hosts found the new LUN very fast.

Then I created 2 more LUNs on the SAN and presented them as I did previously.

Performed another rescan on each host at time.

This time the rescan was much much slower and i got the error

"Timed out waiting for a server response"

What can be the problem ?

Thanks

This is a know issue.

Clicking on "Rescan ..." in the top right corner will rescan all HBAs for new LUNs. That results in a "Timed out waiting for a server response" for some reason.

Workaround:

Right click on that certain HBA where your new LUNs are available trough and click rescan. That should work.
