A few weeks ago, I had a similar situation, while reconfiguring a vSwitch with storage heartbeat on ESXi 4.1 hosts with Equallogic PS SAN. Also, I could not delete the vSwitch. The workaround was to place the host in maintenance mode and reboot the hosts. After the reboot I was able to delete the vmkernel ports using the CLI and recreating the vSwitch.
