Advice on ESXi 5.1 Health / Storage

We had an 'issue' with one of our VMs, upon reboot the Linux file system needed repair.

At around the same time I see - "Lost access to volume 5351714a-0e19f12c-cc94-d072dca029b6 (datastore1) due to connectivity issues. Recovery attempt is in progress and outcome will be reported shortly."


in the ESXi Host's Events  which seems to indicate a disk issue -


Successfully restored access to volume 5351714a-0e19f12c-cc94-d072dca029b6 (datastore1) following connectivity issues.	info	27/03/2017 10:01:05 AM		localhost.thefirstgroup.com.au

Open in new window


Also, the Health Status shows alerts storage alerts -> User generated image
I understand that a heartbeat was missed to cause the "loss access to volume" and it was restored - but why? Wht does this indicate? and pls explain what I'm seeing in the Storage summary? Why does it shod "DriveFauly" on all and Alert on a couple? What else can be done to identify the cause?
