HW/SW: HP DL585G2 - 2x Qlogic QLE-2460 - ESX 3.0.1 - VC 2.5u2:
I have a situation where : esxcfg-vmhbadevs -q returns a list of vmhba & /dev - with one exception. #34 in this list does not have an associated device. This situation has left me with an ESX host that will not enter maintenance mode, but I am able to manually move the VM's off the host with vmotion, one at a time.
Therefore, for now, I've put DRS into full conservative and have begun to move VM's off this host.
If run esxcfg-vmhbadevs -q on another node in the cluster, all vmhba's have anassoicated device, and everything is as expected.
Has anyone solved this with a simple rescan? I'll consider trying rescans and such after I get the remaining VM's off this host.
For your observation: output of esxcfg-vmhbadevs -q on the problem host, and some entrie from vmkwarning which indicate addtional storage trouble on other LUNs.
