attach old datastore on esxi 6.5 failde

Hello,

Let me give you the situation here:

We have an old box oracle X4170 with a card LSI megRaid.

We have 1 disk with the OS (300GB) esxi 5.5

We have a datastore with 2 disks configured in RAID 0 ( ~600GB)

after a power outage, we lost the RAID configuration and unable to recover it.

The OS disk get corrupted and unable to boot.

We have decided to add another disk and install esxi 6.5 on it.

Everything went well on it.

Now we reconfigure the datastore disks to be the same RAID 0.

When we try to add the disk as a datastore, we can't mount it.

On this datastore we have 20 VMs and we try to avoid recreate them from scratch.

Please find below some result of some commands:

Hi
the details you provide do not add up to a coherent picture.
According to ls -alh /vmfs/devices/disks
you have 2 raid-arrays both using a size of about 560GB.
For the array "naa.600605b002406d30230ed2ff17a5b1fc" the partitiontable appears to be damaged which also conflicts with the output of ls -alh /vmfs/devices/disks.
> On this datastore we have 20 VMs and we try to avoid recreate them from scratch.
Please try to figure out wether "this datastore" is
"naa.600605b002406d30230ed2ff17a5b1fc" or
"naa.600605b002406d30230de3f30be96b0a"
I highly recommend that you create a VMFS header dump for both

"naa.600605b002406d30230ed2ff17a5b1fc:3" and

"naa.600605b002406d30230de3f30be96b0a:3"
With the header dump I would be able to figure out which datastore has those 20 VMs and could eventually create scripts to extract the VMs manually.

Hello,

Thanks.

Please find a picture that would clarify the situation.

pastedImage_0.png

and also the 2 dump files, the other file is 917MB in Gzip, so i don't know how to send it to you.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Didier

The dump you provided is for a datastore named datastore_local which seems to be a newly formatted volume with no directories or VMs stored.
To send larger files use Dropbox or a free filehoster.
Do not consider changing anything for the disk from the screenshot.
It should have the 20 VMs we are looking for.
