In a virtual environment that includes a SAN and VMware ESXI 5.0 or later, which of these steps would you perform last (before re-scanning storage adapters) when removing a storage LUN?
- Verify that the LUN is no longer used for storing VMs, templates, HA heartbeats, etc.
- Detach LUN in VMware client
- Disconnect LUN in SAN interface
- Unmount datastore [Partially Correct Please share your answers on commnet box]
EXPLANATION
Removing a LUN in ESXi/ESX 4.x is complex. Improvements are made in ESXi
5.0 and later to streamline the procedure to make it easier for
Administrators to remove LUNs.
Unmounting a LUN checklist
Before unmounting a LUN, ensure that:- If the LUN is being used as a
VMFS datastore, all objects, (such as virtual machines, snapshots, and
templates) stored on the VMFS datastore are unregistered or moved to
another datastore.
Note: All CD/DVD images located on the VMFS datastore must also be unregistered from the virtual machines.
- The datastore is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.
- The datastore is not part of a datastore cluster.
