Dead paths against ESX server
Unable to remove the deadpaths in ESX server. Verified zone is proper and masking view is fine.
Only one server in entire cluster has this issue. Each time error logs against different device.
HBA and cable running from HBA also replaced. Did Rescan HBA still issue persist.
Can anyone help ?
These are the errors i can find in logs

Hi,
As far as I understood you have ghost devices and you want to get rid of them.
The best way ALWAYS to keep your ESX host clean and without ghosts devices is to:
Unmount the devices and then detach them via CLI.
The best way.
Also in the link below you can find a very interesting article that maybe will assist you.
