You also need to remove multipath dm devices after deleting.
It's really a pain to manage it cluster wide.

That's why in past, with my nexenta iscsi san, I was using qemu libiscsi + lacp without multipath.

(Also, multipath daemon is really cpu hungry, when you have a lot of luns)


BTW, it seem that last version of libiscsi support multipath

https://github.com/sahlberg/libiscsi/pull/166

But I'm not sure it's already work with qemu.

Okay, there's problem: Linux is little ugly when it comes to delete 
external LUN. 
So we have to unlink (rescan-scsi-bus.sh -r or echo 1 > 
/sys/block/sdX/device/delete) all paths to this LUN from all nodes, and 
only then we may safely delete it. BTW, iSCSI (not direct) storage is 
also affected (at least if we have installed multipath-tools). 

Is there easy way to run some code on all cluster nodes, wait it to 
complete and then continue?
