Recovering a lost partition table on a VMFS-5 volume with GPT ?

Hi

I have ESXi 5

due to a resignature ( partition ), probably a iSCSI LUN that is still visible under the target , cannot be seen as datastore no more

Help all data , VM's and servers are lost...( they are still probably, but not seen anymore )   How to recover or remake it again as DATAStore ?

PSE HELP

i've seen that article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1002281&sl... 0 292764722

handles this for VMFS3, and use Fdisk u

Can anyone tell how to do it with Partutil ?

Tnx for quick answer

partedUtil get tells you the Cylinders, Heads and Sectors.
Caclculate (C x H x S) - 1 = end-value.

This ONLY applies for VMFS-volumes that fill a whole LUN. Not to VMFS-volumes that are part of an ESXi installation
