I found a way to make this work. For whatever reason, destroying a VM - although it seems to mainly remove it from vCenter's inventory - leaves some info around that makes vCenter think the datastore is still in use. Instead of destroying the VM, what I do for managed storage (when we are expungi

Interesting...when I try to unmount the datastore prior to removing the iSCSI connections, I get a similar error to when I straight-out try to delete the datastore prior to removing the iSCSI connections: it says the datastore is still in use. When I look at the contents of the datastore, there do

Hi Kelven, Thanks for the info! I have another question that perhaps you can answer. In my situation, with managed storage, I need to create and delete datastores dynamically. The idea is to have a single VM (and all of its corresponding files) or a single VMDK data disk file per datastore in so
