I recently noticed that in some ESX servers the path to LUNs is not being displayed.
I have to re-scan the datastorage to make the information appear momentarily but at the next refresh of VC it disappear again.
This problem is seen in a few servers only; the other servers information is being displayed correctly.
I tried rebooting the ESX servers and even removing them from VC and re-adding them. I also tried restarting VC but the result is still the same.
However, if I connect directly to the ESX host the path to the LUNs is displayed correctly. The problem only occurs in VC.
Any idea on what could be causing the problem? Thanks.
I guess the first thing to say is are you running patch2 on VC?
I'm not sure if this is a known bug, but having the latest patch will usually help.
Yes I am using patch 2 on VC.
If you rescan do you see them?
It could be the same problem as another thread in this forum:

It's said that it could be solved with time syncronization.
