[Users] "Error: Cannot attach Storage. Storage Domain doesn't exist."

Hmm, I'm going to do some research here...

Story is that the first LUN I attached was 30 Gb. Since the LUN's are attached by the same Fc HBA and same port, it is most likely that they get the same device name, even if I change the LUN behind, in the SAN controller. Do someone know something about this?

Is it likely that the HV system save some LUN/device information in it's system LUN? So that it reports the same size of the LUN that it was originally?

I am going to remove the LUN again, and take away the LUN mapping, so the HV can't see it. Then I will make a new LUN of different size again, and check if it has the same device name, and also check what size it reports.

I would appreciate if someone with deeper knowledge than me about these things could shed some light here...

Hi again!

Hmm, very strange, the size LVM reports on the LUN is actually 30 Gb...??? So why doesn't it allow me to create on it?

It does but the limitation is at least 10GB for block storage device. 
Can you check please with 'pvs' command how large does lvm reports 
connected lun?

Thanks,
