How can you clean up old LUN numbers?

[jamieorth]

I have a case where the storage admin had unmasked some old LUN's from the ESX hosts prior to removing the datastore. Now when new storage was presented to the ESX hosts with what are probably LUN numbers that have been used we can't add the storage.

This is what we get -

Create VMFS Datastore "Error during the configuration of the host:Cannot open volume: /vmfs/vloumes/4aafd8e--745aff4e-09a6-001e4f27972a

Also, when running esxcfg-vmhbadevs -m there are several 'StorageInfo' warnings with Skipping dir: /.........etc, etc, etc....

How can you clean out LUN numbers that are not in use any longer?
