Openfiler remove/umap non existing volume

-
Some you of you might come across when using openfiler like myself of non existing volumes however it is still mapped to the target.

Or you wanted to remove those non existing volumes which keep showing in your volumes list.

First, to unmap the volumes from your target you have to edit the following file and restart your iSCSI target service.

iscsi_settings.xml in:  /opt/openfiler/etc/iscsi/targets

remove all ghost target, only from sub tag to tag (included), not then main tag.

Secondly, to remove the non existing volumes,

my volumes.xml from /opt/openfiler/etc/


The file should look like the below, remove   ... /> for each of your non existing LUN.

With the Broadcom acquisition, VMware has been one of the last major player that has moved to subscription license. Customer who are on VMware, has been enjoying the great pricing with no limit of cores

VMware by Broadcom, A New Chapter Forward

-
With Broadcom acquisition of VMware completing in 22nd Nov, there have been lots of assumption made by many sources what will become of the business direction. Here are some of the updates that are publicly announced if you have not catch up on the news. To start with, VMware is now known as VMware by Broadcom and all originally VMware software will remain to be branded under VMware. The first announcement 27th November, Carbon Black is  now  an autonomous unit within Broadcom. In my opinion this is good news. I have seen not much integration on Carbon Black ever since acquired by VMware so with that move, it allows Carbon Black to innovate and do what they do best in Cyber security landscape. Next from the acquisition completion, there are many speculation on after the acquisition what will end up of End User Computing? With the  announcement  on 8th December, The End User Computing (EUC) division will be a diverse business. With that understanding, EUC division will operate on their
