Delete/remove inactive datastore (vmfs5, iscsi)
Hello World!
After mistake of deleting LUN100 Mappings on storage and deleting that logical drive on that storage, there was a present datastore (which was previously connected to that LUN100) with (inactive) status on VHost.
I tried recreate new logical drive on storage, assign the same LUN100, map to the same VHost, rescan all storage adapters, but i coudn't make that inactive datastore be normal.
There is only one thing i could do - rename that datastore.
Question: how to delete/remove from my VHost this inactive datastore completely?
P.S. I cant reboot that VHost, cause there are business critical VMs running.

Thanks for your suggestion, but it didn't help. I still can see inactive datastore in webconsole of vCenter. It's also shows that there is a virtual machine (orphaned) on this datastore, but i can't either do something with it too.
What i actually did:
"restart network management services"
Go to VHost console, F2 - Troubleshooting guide - Restart Management Agents
"restart vCenter Server service"
I restarted vCenter Appliance.
