This article is intended to explain why you will see Nimble iscsi targets reattched after Site Recovery Manager test/cleanup.
Static Nimble iSCSI target entries on ESXi hosts reattached after SRM Test / Cleanup
Nimble support reports that certain Nimble OS builds have a default setting for "volume-scope-target" which does not go back and cleanup detached scsi targets. The other option is group-scope-target which has a built in mechanism to cleanup and detach additional iscsi targets (iqn).
This is a Nimble OS configuration issue. Contact Nimble Support.
Manually remove Static Target IPs
Change iSCSI Volume Scope from GST to VST
Impact/Risks:
Accumulation of attached iscsi targets above what is required.
Slow reboots due to storage scans of multiple storage target scans
