      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Another thing when making the new cluster is the EVC mode.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Not relating to you since you said you are running 6.0, but someone else might have this issue if they are using 6.5. We've see a few times in 6.5 where a new cluster won't let in another server that should be able to run the same EVC mode but doesn't.&amp;nbsp; Temporarily disable EVC add the host and re-enable is how we've worked around this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I went through a somewhat similar but different situation yesterday with a datastore which was inaccessible so I hope this helps.&amp;nbsp; The problem I had was a ghosted VM still running which wouldn't let the datastore unmount.&amp;nbsp; I followed this article and some others to remove the inaccesible luns. Step 3 will identify if there are any VM's running or ghosted VMs running from that resource.&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-6-5/topic/com.vmware.vcli.examples.doc/GUID-E8A0A3A2-8DAB-4F17-B912-29A41BF005AF.html#GUID-E8A0A3A2-8DAB-4F17-B912-29A41BF005AF" title="https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-6-5/topic/com.vmware.vcli.examples.doc/GUID-E8A0A3A2-8DAB-4F17-B912-29A41BF005AF.html#GUID-E8A0A3A2-8DAB-4F17-B912-29A41BF005AF"&gt;Detach a Device and Remove a LUN&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I'd think hard before running step 4 as it would take a manual cli to be able to turn the lun back on if it could ever be used in the future.&amp;nbsp; This all happened from a bad run of SRM and had a PDL event for a few volumes when VMs were still running.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
