Use the following guidelines and suggested steps to help resolve LUN path issues when attaching a datastore.

Condition:
The Attach Datastore operation fails when the LUN path is not found for the hostgroup of the source ESXi. The following error is displayed: Exception: Could not find lunpath of existing datastore on hostgroup <hostgroup>.
What it Means:
The LUN path cannot be found on the first hostgroup of the source host, thus the Attach Datastore operation fails.
Corrective Action:
Verify that the logical unit is presented to the first hostgroup of the source ESXi, and then retry the Attach Datastore operation.
