Hi ,
Hope can i found solution for the below :
* a IBM System X 3630 - M3 with RAID 5 contains 7 disks 2TB per Disk
* attention on the server appear with fault disk we power off the server unplug the fault disk and replaced with new one
* power on the server login to RAID controller make the new disk online and added successfully to RAID Array
* Server Attention disappear and boot up the server
* ESXi boot error
"
Error loading /misc-dri.v00
fatal error :33 (inconsistent Data)
"
* Try to reinstall or upgrade ESXi from multiple versions and media 5.0.0 or 5.5.0 or 6.0.0 but the installer cannot detect the old ESXi files and just new installation tition the disk again .
* is this a boot bank problem ? and how can i fix it ?
Thanks in advanced
It seems that ESXi installed files (some of *.v00 files) are corrupted duration this incident.
Did you check the Rebuild operation has been successfully done? 2TB is very large and this process may last a long time ... Can you check its related log, please?
Thanks Amin ,
after review the problem was there a 2 disk corruption on the array im change the another disk and rebuilding finisnh with success and no alert on the array ,
but unfortunately the problem still the same , im try to boot from linux boot CD and detect 2 partition one contains the ESXi boot Data (250 MB FAT) ( which seems no problem with its content ) while can i view the files and browse over this partition , and another partition ( RAW with 10TB Data ) which contains the DataStore, may if there a way to restore this partition to VMFS partition without loosing data ???
Regards
There are many helpful tools in the Hiren boot ISO from many vendors of backup recovery solution provider. Check them, maybe resolve your problem
You need a linux liveCD which has vmfs-tools installed.
Lets assume the 10 tb partition appears as /dev/sda2
then you can mount it with the commands
mkdir /vmfs
vmfs-fuse /dev/sda2 /vmfs
Dont waste your time with Hirens Boot CD - it is illegal and no use for this scenario
Thank you ,
I will try with linux MOA64 liveCD and give you a feedback
Hi Continuum ,
I'm try the vmfs-fuse command to the partition which is sda3 ,
put they give me an error :
"
VMFS FSInfo : Invalid Magic Number 0X00000000
VMFS : Unable to read FS partition
Unable to open filesystem
"
Note : lsblk show me the partition size " put any other command cannot see the partition
any suggestions
