When we go to delete a lun that is no longer mapped, we may get this error sdXX: couldn’t get asymmetric access state
After unmapping the LUN from the SAN storage we get the following output for multipath -ll command.

In order to get rid of this drive, first, delete the multipath drive

[root@hostname ~]# multipath -f mpathbx

Then, delete the block device :

[root@hostname ~]# echo 1 > /sys/block/sdaw/device/delete
[root@hostname ~]# echo 1 > /sys/block/sdds/device/delete
