Removing an unmapped LUN

When you no longer need or want it, you can use the SCSI rescan script to remove an unmapped LUN from the host.

Before you begin

The LUN must not be in use and must be unmapped.

You must have a copy of the rescan script. The rescan script is available with the sg3_utils package. In addition, the rescan script is available with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 4 or later and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or later, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 or later, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, 12, or later. For earlier versions, use the vendor-specific rescan scripts, which are available on their web sites. See the documentation for your HBA.

Step

  1. Remove the LUN: /usr/bin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh –r
