Help resource pools disappearing

I rebooted my ESXi host and when it came back up and I launched the vClient, I noticed that some of my resource pools had disappeared! I have three pools to help with organisation as I only have a single host and thus no vCenter. This has never happened before and I have had this host running for several months. When I looked at the Events tab I saw the following message:

"Configuration file for cannot be found"

It does not say "for" what!

Is something corrupt? How worried do I need to be?

Thanks

Can you check if there is any Hard disk issue? Goto ILO/DRAC logs and check if there is any hard disk issue/error. From VI client can you do an export diag data?

I checked the iLO integrated management log before I posted and there were no entries. Now this server does unfortunately not have iLO 2, so the amount of diagnostic information I get via iLO is limited. However, I would imagine that if there was an issue with the RAID1 then it would show up.

Anyway, what do you mean by exporting diagnostic data from the vClient? I did a search in the vClient for any failed or error entries in the logs and this is what I found:

nothing in /var/log/messages

Does this help explain what happened?

Thanks
