Hello,
I have 3 ESXi hosts all running 5.0. They are in a cluser attached to an HP EVA via fibre. I recently migrated some VMs out of a couple old datastores into a single new datastore.
What is the proper way to remove the old datastores without issues? There is nothing hosted on them anymore and the idea is that I will delete them on the SAN when they are removed from ESXi.
Are these the proper steps? I don't have a reason to keep these VMFS datastores so I figure a delete would also include an unmount operation.
1- Delete VMFS datastore (nothing to keep)
2- Detach from each host
3- Unpresent on SAN
4- Rescan HBA on all hosts
