This also gives the same error
0:0:0:1: sg_io failed status 0x0 0x1 0x0 0x0
0:0:0:1: Unable to get INQUIRY vpd 1 page 0x0.
error calling out /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sda

Why it is enquiring page 0x0, vpd enquires from page
0x80 or 0x83, right ?

This works

You are right, The devices were hot-unplugged and then
new devices were hot-plugged. But udev should take
care of these events and should refresh its
device-name mappings accordingly ?

After a rebooted, new disks under /proc/partitions
looks like cciss/c0d0p1 etc.
how should i run scsi_id on these ?
