Re: How to safely delete LUNs from all ESXi host.

Friend  as suggested I have done the below steps

 

 

1.Unregister all objects from the datastore including VMs and Templates

2.Ensure that no 3rd party tools are accessing the datastore

3.Ensure that no vSphere features, such as Storage I/O Control or Storage DRS, are using the device

4.Detach the device from the ESX host; this will also initiate an unmount operation

Note: The Detach function must be performed on a per-host basis and does not propagate to other hosts in vCenter Server. If a LUN is presented to an initiator group or storage group on the SAN, the Detach function must be performed on every host in that initiator group before unmapping the LUN from the group on the SAN. Failing to follow this step results in an all-paths-down (APD) state for those hosts in the storage group on which Detach was not performed for the LUN being unmapped.

5.Physically unpresent the LUN from the ESX host using the appropriate array tools.

 

as soon as lun unpreset from SAN I have started recived these errors in Host event tab

6.Rescan the SAN

7.  esxcli storage core device detached list

esxcli storage core device detached remove -d naa.60060160f5a23400e8c4cb3f3a1de411

 

My question is y I have got these many error message in event tab , just want to confirm  is there any step I have missed above or it's a genuine error message which is safe to ignore.

 

regards

Mr VMware
