vSphere: Datastore capacity incorrect display

[vmvn01]

Hi,

Today, a datastore in our virtual environment have a strange issue: Capacity incorrect display in the vSphere Client view. The correct capacity of datastore is 150GB normally, but now I see it display 2126950.00TB (???). This datastore issue cause failure all virtual machines were running on that. I'm very worry about this issue because I face to at the fist time. Please help me!

Thanks

Can you connect directly to the host with vSphere Client and verify the displayed capacity?

Hi Rocco,

The displayed capacity is the same, it's incorrect too, when I connect to host directly.

SSH to the host, using "ls -l /vmfs/volume" command I got the information as attached picture. The color of datastore's UUID has different to others and I cannot using "cd" command to datastore's directory.

Does this relate to the datastore signature ... ???

Can you export logs from host? I hope there is a specific error for this issue.

Yes Rocco, this is the host logs.

This KB probably can help you: VMware KB: ESXi 5.0 hosts fail to mount VMFS5 volumes that are formatted with ATS-only capabilities.
