storage is lost

Hi everyone !

ESX 3i booting from flash. Create 4 storages: s1,s2,s3,s4 (remote datastore with 4 volumes by ~1.8 TB connected to ESX server by SAS).

Create several VMs on s1.

Power off ESX. Boot ESX 3i from other flash. ESX does not see st1 and st2. In storage adapter (VIC) they can be added in storage, but thus I shall lose all data on them. Rescan does not help. At loading with old flash the same. Why ESX has ceased to see st1 and st2? How it is possible to return created VMs?

Take a look at the EnableResignature option in this document (page 118 ff) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35/vi3_35_25_san_cfg.pdf.
