Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
More Information
This issue occurs because the old World Wide Port Name (WWPN) is not deleted from the Virtual Fibre Channel (VFC) of the source Hyper-V host server. This is caused by a known issue in Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) in which the host bus adapter (HBA) driver never receives the corresponding WMI call.
