you can remove the stale links by
dmsetup remove -f /dev/mapper/<name>

if the LUN is on target where no other LUN are used by oVirt, multipath
devices should be removed and vdsm should be logged out from the tergat (at
least on recent oVirt release). If you still use other LUNs from the storage
server on the host (as part of other storage domains), there's no point in
removing the LUN as it will be discovered again, as vdsm does rescans of the
storage in various flows. So the flow has to be
1. remove storage domain using the LUN
2. unzone the LUN on storage server
3. remove corresponding multipath devices from the hosts
There can be some improvement as proposed by Nir under BZ #1310330 like
blacklisting removed devices, but this makes everything more complex. It may
be considered and implemented in the future, but unfortunately not available
right now.
