I would check if the Huawei-Syamantec iSCSI storage is certified for use with VMware ESXi 5.0.

I have checked VMware HCL, Huawei-Symantec iSCSI storage is not in the list for ESXi 5.0. But it's in the list for ESXi 4.1.<br />
<br />
My vmware hosts were running well in ESXi 4.1, but why they cannot run well in ESXi 5.0?

There were four VMs ( 3 Linux &amp;&nbsp;1 Windows ) found file system corruption and caused company's application failed in this month. In linux guest OS, I need use FSCK command to fix file system. And in Windows server I lost ntoskrnl.exe file and need to use chkdsk to fix file system. I have checked server and storage hardware, but there is nothing error found. <br />

Anyone could give me some idea about this problem? We are running Dell poweredge server and &nbsp;Huawei-Syamantec iSCSI storage.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
