Unable to boot esxi 6 with DiskLun error

I'm running an esxi 6 host on my Dell poweredge 2950 G2 with perc5i raid controller. Running 4 2TB WD disks in raid5 (storage) and one singel disk as system disk and VM.

It's been running for several years with esxi 4-5-6 with no problems.

No suddenly I'm not able to boot up the system.

The boot stops on "nfs4client loaded successfully"

If i then his F1 I get a list of errors I dont realy understand:

StorageInfolmpl: Discovery failed (Retrying)

Not all luns may be visible

StorageInfo: Unabke to name LUN mpx.vmhba32:C0:TO:LO. Cannon set display name on this device. Unable to guarantee name will not change across reboots or media change.

nfsgssd started

DiskLun: No partition: 8 found on lun: t10.ATA_____WDC_WD1003FBYX2D011Y7B1________WD2DWCAW34452313 jumpstart: bora/lib/vmkctl/system/SystemInfolmpl.cpp:1508: virtual void VmkCtl::System::SystemInfoImpl::SetupSymlinks(bool, bool): Assertion 'altbootbank.get()' failed.

Aborted

If I hit F12 I get:

Is there any hope to get this up and running ?

If not, is there a way to extract some of the data without sending the disk to a spesial company.. ?

I would suggest to extract the VMs if that is still possible with the help of a Linux-system.
I have not seen this error message before - it may be fixable but as you use Raid5 I would highly recommend to change to a Raid 1 or 10 anyways.
If you have not fixed the problem already - call me on skype so that we have a closer look at the datastore.
