      <title>No persistent storage found</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/No-persistent-storage-found/m-p/2716063#M267115</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello - Not sure if this is a complicated issue or not.. but here's what I did.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a server where the CD rom no longer works, so I popped my two drives out of that server and placed it into a server with similar hardware and a working CD drive..and installed ESXi 5.5.&amp;nbsp; Everything seemed ok, so I then placed the drives BACK into the original server since I was now able to have ESXi on it, but when I joined it into Vcenter 5.5, the storage seemed messed up. When I tried to add a VM, it threw up some errors and then when I checked the storage in the configuration, it gave me a "no persistent storage found" error and told me to add it. When I did, it gave me an error that it could not create a partition.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Will the method I explained above not work for ESXi 5.5?&amp;nbsp; Both servers have very similar hardware. They are both IBM X3550s&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
