Situation -
I have a few datastores that are setup on each of the 5 ESX hosts in a cluster.
I wanted to change the block size of a datastore from 1Mb to 4Mb and migrated all VM's from that datastore. After that removed the datastore from 1st ESX host and refreshed the other ESX hosts. The datastore got deleted from all hosts except one.
Went into the datastore view and checked that the datastore had some old linkages. So did an SSH into the server and cleaned up that datastore. I still cannot get to remove the datastore and receive this error -
" destroyvmfsdatastore: can't delete partition"
I have rescanned the HBA's and refreshed all hosts many times. Since i have many VM's my cluster failover policy is not allowing me to reboot this ESX host at this time. I am in the process of adding more ESX hosts as well but it cannot be done immediately. A call with the vendor is in progress but taking too long.
Any suggestions ?
