FC Datastore showing not consumed

We have 3 HP DL 380 servers running ESXi 6.0 accessing two FC directly connected Lun's on a MSA 2050. One of the Lun is visible on all three esxi's and working fine but the other is showing as not consumed on all three servers. This issue came when we replaced one faulty controller on MSA 2050. 

From the MSA end, the pools and the disk groups are healthy, do not see any issues. but from VMkernel logs, it is showing

@SAAM_IT 

Something else that is “not supported” is ESXi 6.0 itself, if you run anything like production workloads you should consider upgrading to at least 6,5.

@scott28tt Yes, you are right. but i need to fix the issue with the current version. I will do the upgrade after getting approval.

All the VM's on the datastore are down right now and I have tried to scan the adaptors, still it is showing as Not Consumed. 

 

Thanks.

What you may check is whether the LUN is recognized as a "Snapshot LUN", i.e. has a known signature, but is seen on another device.
To find out about this, please see the "Command line" section at https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1011387
In case it's detected as a snapshot LUN, the KB article also contains commands to mount the LUN again.

I see the problem the same. However, when I rescan they appear again. I don't know does it happen again? Could you explain for me the reason why? Thanks!

> I see the problem the same.

Problems with datastores can decide about the survival or death of a company.
Thats why we hate to answer questions like this with zero details - and with zero effort to describe your special situation.

Instead of clicking the kudo button you should create a new post and provide details.
And by the way  .... more details are better.
And dont contact me via skype if the problem is not related to VMFS corruption.
