Sean, You might want to toss out some information on what exactly you're trying to do. If you're deleting a datastore that is visible to more than one host, then yes, the second host will error out since it hasn't rescanned. If you're like most SAN / NFS / iSCSI type setups, then you have the same datastore on all hosts in a cluster. If that is the case, then you just need to grab one host per cluster and remove the datastore, then refresh the storage on the hosts in the cluster. Otherwise if you have your storage setup differently, or with local datastores that would change it quite a bit. if you need to rescan, Get-Vmhoststorage -RescanAllHBA will be your friend.
