esxi 5.5 datastore not visible(disappeared)
In my home lab one of my esxi hosts had 3 datastores
From what I can see for the missing data store the SAS drive still holds an entry vmfs and furthermore I can access the contents from the esxi shell
in theory I can copy the stuff over, and wipe this drive but I am curious if there is an elegant way to fix this!?
ESXi2-datastore1
ESXi2-datastore2
ESXi2-datastore3
I deleted ESXi2-datastore2, but so some reason ESXi2-datastore3 disappeared too.From what I can see for the missing data store the SAS drive still holds an entry vmfs and furthermore I can access the contents from the esxi shell
