Thank you for your reply. This implies that the SAN keeps track of a volume’s 
native ID. So, for example, if I had a VM that was trying to mount an 
inexistant volume ID after migration, I could fix this by creating a new volume 
with the proper ID and just migrate the data from the volume that was in-use 
previously. That was my main concern and now it does make the process of fixing 
this simpler.
