 Error deleting SATP rule: No rule matching the given options found, nothing to delete. Specify all options for the rule to delete it successfully.

on" Driver "(null)" not in the SATP "VMW_SATP_ALUA" Supported ID list.

 

Resolution

• If 'system' defined rule default rule is not sufficient create a new 'user' defined rule and this 'user' defined rule will take precedence.
• To add a 'user' defined rule  Define NMP SATP Rules
  #esxcli storage nmp satp rule add -c tpgs_on -M "model" -P VMW_PSP_RR -o iops=1 -s VMW_SATP_ALUA -V vendor -o disable_action_OnRetryErrors
• To remove this 'user' defined rule
  #esxcli storage nmp satp rule remove -c tpgs_on -M "model" -P VMW_PSP_RR -o iops=1 -s VMW_SATP_ALUA -V vendor -o disable_action_OnRetryErrors
