    Hello everyone,

    I started my Esxi 6.5 some days ago after weeks of inactivity, 

    I could launch the vm but then access to it was impossible by console and unreachable with icmp..

    When i went on datastore, I saw 0 GB everywhere, now even datastore dissapeared and my disk is marked in error state,

    I joined screenshot for more details but I'm unable to detect where the problem could come from,

    any help is welcome

    Thanks in advance.

    well clearly your storage is gone...

    Reviewing your screenshot it would seems that this is local storage, basically a 512Gb SSD. Is it still "seen" in the BIOS ? Can you move it to another PC to make sure it still operates normaly ? It might "simply" have died on you...

    Hi,

    Are you sure your ESXI host is accessing the disks? Can you check the network card.

    It seems your disk is gone (failed). Just remove it from the current server and test it in another one ...

    BTW, can you tell me did you set up the ESXi host on the volume of this device?! I think this is the only storage you have in your host, so do not execute any power action on the ESXi if you didn't yet. Then run the following command and put the result screen here:

    ls -lrth /vmfs/volumes/
