No data showing on Data Store anymore

[TCLiven]

Hi There -

This afternoon we had three VM's go down on a host.  Noticed that the host no longer recognized the data store the VM's resided on.  Then discovered that only one host out of my eleven sees this datastore now.

When I try to browse the data store, it does not show any data on it anymore.  Wondering what could have happened that vCenter and the vSphere client no longer sees data on the data store.  When I try to access the VMFS file/directory of the data store on the host, I receive the error that I cannot cd into it.  Any ideas on how I can get the data to show back up on the data store?

I'd recommend you immediately open a case with VMware!

Also ensure the daatstore/LUN has not been presented to e.g. a Windows host.

Are you able to connect to host directly and see if the datastore has data. What kind of datasotre local or SAN?

Yes, I can connect to the only host that sees the data store and it still cannot access or see any data on it

been trying to get through to vmware via email and phone and have been having issues all day getting connected.

So it looks as though vSphere sees this data store incorrectly now... pic attached
