Run the program before you delete/add the LUNs and after, please. How do you delete/add the LUNs? Are you re-using the LUN number, or are you actually deleting a LUN, deleting the block device as well, and then when adding (with a new LUN number higher than the deleted one), rescanning the SCSI host channel to get the new block device for the LUN?
