change paths to datastore without reboot

Is it possible to change (add/remove) paths to a datastore while esx is running?

I'm trying to add more paths trough another hba for redundancy and it seems it's not working. Do I have to remove the datastore and readd it?

Another "problem": If i select remove when I right click a datastore i get a warning that if i remove the datastore all files associated with the vms on this datastore will be deleted. Why? I just want to remove the datastore from the inventory and then re-add it.

No, rescan the HBA's when you added the paths.
