  • 1.  Datastore is shown, but it is unreachable.

    Good morning, would it be possible to help me?

    The server has only local disks, two disks in raid are the local datastore and a third disk, without raid, is another datastore that has a VM.

    This third disk is displayed and its datastore too, however, it is not possible to access it. There is a VM on it that is turned off due to this problem.

    This incident occurred when another physical disk was inserted into the esxi server.

    I attached the logs.

    Datastore in operation: naa.6d4ae520872ece001721455650614c42

    Failed datastore: naa.6d4ae520872ece0026ad89905e4224d9

    I attached the logs.

    From vmkernel.log :Device naa.6d4ae520872ece0026ad89905e4224d9:9 detected to be a snapshot:

    Probably all you need to do is resignature that volume. See
