If you have presented your LUN to your ESX servers, using this command should discover it;

esxcfg-rescan vmhba0 (or vmhba1) depending on which HBA you've presented it to.

To remove it, just un-present it and run the same command again.

Hi, the command line tool is vmkfstools. You can use the -s option to rescan an HBA. For full command line parameters just run the command with no options or use 'man vmkfstools'

Thanks,
