EMC Host Connectivity with QLogic FC and iSCSI HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Additional Notes
(VNX series or CLARiiON Only) disconnected ghost LUNs When a Linux host is attached to both SPs in a VNX series or
CLARiiON storage system, the driver will report a disconnected
LUN 0 on SPB and a failure to read the capacity of the device. The
Unisphere/Navisphere Host Agent requires that disconnected LUN 0
be reported properly. A device file name is allocated to the
disconnected LUN 0 in the /dev filesystem, but the device cannot be
mounted, partitioned, or otherwise accessed.
Here is an example of a disconnected LUN 0 being reported:
