Datastore missing v6.5.0

Brought the server up after replacing a RAID disk last night. All seemed to be working fine but this morning we could not access either the VM or the Host server. After a reboot, the host comes back up, but the datastore is missing.

I can see the drive under storage devices. Is it possible to reattach the datastorage without losing the data\\\\\\\\\/

Thank you

It seems that you have to mount the datastore with the following command: esxcfg-volume -m "vmfs_label_name"
