I'm seeing a large number of errors in the event log of our file
server, and they reference a number of GUIDs for which there seem to
be no matching volumes.
This makes a fair amount of sense - we've recently refactored our
drives, and in the process eliminated all of our iSCSI presentations
for this server, replacing them with VMDKs - as you have figured out
by now, we're a VMware shop.
The eventIDs are below - there are several of each error/warning, one
set per GUID that doesn't match a volume. The question in my mind is
"how do I get rid of the references to the missing volume?"
