Hey guys,
There is a problem I haven't found a solution yet. On one of my ESXi the datastore the folder /store is symlinking at is not available anymore. I was not aware that this ESXi was configured to use a seperate datastore to host the VMware tools etc. So the whole /store folder is blown away.
Now to my question: Is it possible to recreate the whole /store folder locally or on another datastore without having the old data?
This is the output of "ls -la" in the root folder of the ESXi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 23 13:07 productLocker -> /locker/packages/6.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 May 23 13:05 store -> /vmfs/volumes/5909d59f-2844b51d-9f88-2343554653
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 10 07:11 vmupgrade -> /locker/vmupgrade
Another command line output:
[root@ESXi:~] cd locker
[root@ESXi:/locker] ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Jul 10 10:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Jul 10 08:13 ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Jul 10 10:47 packages
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 10 10:47 vmupgrade
Just as a short overview:
My environment consists of 17 ESXi between 5.5 and 6.0 at the moment. All ESXi OS data are normally stored on the corresponding SD cards. I have a 3PAR storage behind all the ESXi and the vCenter is version 6.0.
In advance thanks for your help!
