Hello All,
So I put ESXI 6.5 onto a new server and I boot from USB.
I had to reinstall the image onto the USB and then booted up for the first time from USB and rebuild the datastore (NFS) and Networks.
When I got VCSA back up and running from a .vmx file that had been moved all was well for the most part. Although I notice when I got to the storage section on vCenter I have the following for datastores.
ESXi-Share
ESXI-Share (inactive) - RED Icon
Local 1TB (inactive) - RED Icon (This was the local drive that originally all the VM's sat on before moving everything to an NFS share and this drive is nowhere in my environment any longer).
When I now try to remove the "ESXI-Share" (inactive) it says it can't be removed because it's in use. Now when I browse the inactive datastore it shows there are VM's but in reality, those VM's are on the "active" ESXI-Share.
Since I'm not using the older vCenter on a server I'm not sure how to get into the database (if possible) to remove the inactive datastore.
Does anyone know of another way to get rid of it?
I already tried shutting all VM's, logging into the ESXI server directly, removing all NFS mounts and re-adding. But when I actually log back into the Web Client the inactive datastore still exist.
Thanks in advance!
