HI,
I've had a few issues recently with some ESXi5.5 servers running IB SRP which connect to a Solaris11 ZFS SFPT
I"m not sure if it's due to a reboot or the client reboot ESXi to try and fix an issue but what ever this reason, the LU seems locked
When I try to delete or offline the LU is just gets stuck on "Offlining" as below:
root@ssd-san:/var/log# stmfadm list-lu -v 600144F04DCD4B00000057C672DC0001
LU Name: 600144F04DCD4B00000057C672DC0001
Operational Status : Offlining
Provider Name : sbd
Alias : /dev/zvol/rdsk/vmware/esxi02
View Entry Count : 0
Data File : /dev/zvol/rdsk/vmware/esxi02
Meta File : not set
Size : 974957576192
Block Size : 512
Management URL : not set
Vendor ID : SUN

Serial Num : not set
Write Protect : Disabled

root@ssd-san:/var/log# stmfadm delete-lu 600144F04DCD4B00000057C672DC0001
stmfadm: resource busy
The only way to seem to recover from this is to then reboot the SAN once it's rebooted the LU is gone, in which case I can create a new LU then re-import the data-store into ESXi
The Question here is does anyone know what caused the LU to lockup in the first place and is there any way to force the LU to be deleted without reboot or disconnecting others LU's for working storage ??
