Hi,
We are using two ESXI server running on shared storage.Each ESXI server running 2x300GB HDD in RAID1.
One around 2TB LUN is dedicated and each ESXI server vm location is on that lun. i.e 2 vm machine running on each server.
Now there are some issues with the HDD bottom plane of one of the ESXI server and HDD neeeds to be replaced or bottom plane has to be changed.
Can someone recommned me the how to carry this out?
1. Do I need to backup my vm i.e vmdk which is running on shared storage?Do I need to unregister it from problematic host and register it on other host which is working fine?
2. Is it possible to backup the ESXI5 hypervisor of problematic host and restore it once HDD are resotred back?
3. Once HDD gets rectified can I move the original VM running on this host? What procedure do I need to follow?
I have license of essential kit only with me.
Reg,
