Depends on the use-case. In the particular (SAN)use-case that I'm
talking about, 
you shouldn't unplug live sdX which is still mapped on the target(array)
side.
I've attempted to fix it somewhere and it works. If you need more info
about eh and initiator fixes, email me offline.

When would this case arise? :
a) you unknowingly unmap *hot* LUNs from target(array) while managing
the array.

End result - reset storm on front-end. You just need a smarter way to
isolate/localize this
front-end storm.
