Thanks to:

Adrian Phipps (AC)
Michael Schneider
Joe Fletcher
Aseltine, Dick
HAROLD REINSTEIN, BLOOMBERG
Michael Watson
and my good chum Hendrik Visage ;)

Unfortunately nobody seems to know how to resolve these problems.
My opinion is to just rm these devices once you've completed
the assignment, masking, zoning of the luns.

Yes I know. It's ugly... will send another summary if I find a solution that is more decent.
