=== SAN Downtime ===
ESX's don't like to loose the SAN, to the extent that during the scheduled SAN downtime the following is recommended...
# Shutdown ESX's (and hosted VM's) connected to affected storage
# Perform SAN maintenance
# Restart ESX's (and hosted VM's)
If the above is not possible then its recommended that...
# Migrate away/shutdown VM's that are hosted on affected storage
# Un-present LUN's
# Resan LUN's from ESX and confirm they disappear (any VM's on extinct storage will become greyed-out)
# Perform SAN maintenance
# Re-present LUN's
# Re-scan LUN's from ESX and confirm that they re-appear (grey-ed out VM's should ''reconnect'')
# Restart / migrate VM's
