Below is what vmware sent me.
Summarizing out phone call, the 0MB LUN your ESX Host is currently seeing has
this information:

You should contact HP for instructions on how to mask or zone out this LUN.

SolutionOne is to specify MAXLUNs, but that won't help here, because it specifies the upper limit.
The other one is to mask out specific LUN numbers/ ranges from scanning. See the 'VMware ESX Server User├в s Manual', 'Changing VMkernel Configuration Options for SANs'. The configuration option is named: DiskMaskLUNs

Is there a guide for the eva3000's on best practices for VMware ESX?

Re: EVA4000 & VMWARE ESX , Masking lun 0
Is that on the array's property page? That is not the LUN number, but the "LUN identifier" or "OS Unit ID". It does not change the position in the SCSI LUN address space - it rather puts this value into a vendor-specific SCSI page. The entry is only required for some HP AlphaServer operating systems and not used/ understood by other OSes.
There are some 'best practices' for HP ProLiant servers, but I don't recall anything about HP storage arrays right now. Some information about HP gear is embedded in VMware's own documents.
You can always try a search on HP's web:
- browse to http://www.hp.com/go/support
- enter "vmware" into the Search: field
- click on ">>"

WHat sort of switch do you have between the host and the EVA? Some FC switches (e.g. Cisco MDS) will let you do LUN masking.
