Job Aborted from server, cleaning up client.

Solution

1. Execute below command on all Oracle VM Servers which had been assigned with the non-exist Storage LUN:

# scsi-rescan

2. Execute below command on all Oracle VM Servers to flush all unused multipath device maps:

# multipath -F

Note: -F will flush all multipath devices which might cause unexpected result, consider to use -f if you know the specific.

3. Log into Oracle VM Manager BUI again, under Storage tab, select the SAN Server under which the non-exist Storage LUN is listed, Click button "Refresh SUN Server".

Note: if above method could not fix the problem, then please refer to section "Regenerate DB" in Doc ID 1555915.1 to address this issue.
