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.

A mandatory course is no longer needed as an exam requirement. This will help many professionals who are experienced to get certified without having to go through boring course and spend to drag through the requirement.  Will this then bring down the certification value since course was required to ensure certified professional walk the talk as what they hold in credential?
