I have vmware 3.0.2 installed. When I tried to scan the storage adapter, it first times out. Then it came back after a long time and showed as tasked completed. When I tried to run script to scan manually I got the following errror:
perl rescan.pl
Error: SysinfoException: NodeId(1017) ; Status(195887138)= SCSI reservation conflict; Message= Unable to Get Instance List
The following HBAs were detected on this system:
vmhba0
vmhba1
vmhba2
vmhba3
vmhba4
Rescanning vmhba0...done.
On scsi0, removing: 0:0 1:0 6:0.

The script I used is:
cat rescan.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#Filename: rescan-hbas.pl
#No warranty is provided with this script
use strict;
my @hbas = `/usr/sbin/esxcfg-info \| grep vmkernel -i \| grep hba \| awk -F\. \{\'print \$29\'\}`;
print "The following HBAs were detected on this system:\n";
print "\t@hbas";
foreach my $hba (@hbas) {
system("/usr/sbin/esxcfg-rescan $hba");
}
Any one knows a workaround to avoid the rescan delay? Thanks!
