VSAN Volume is empty!

[tropix]

Hi all!

Two days ago rained cats and dogs here and we had 4 energy outages in a row.

To make a long story short, I'm trying to access vsan volume (vsanDatastore) through vCenter Web Client but it is empty and all VMs are inaccessible at this moment.

VSAN cluster has 4 vSphere 5.5u2 servers and they are managed by a 5.5u2 vCenter Server.

All hosts can access (physically) SSD and HDD disks.

We tried a lot of workarounds, but the datastore still empty, for example we tried to disable and re-enable VSAN cluster, but without effect.

Our last chance is creating a new vCenter Server, same version, and joining the hosts to this new VSAN Cluster.

Any ideas?

Best,

Eduardo.

Hi,

if this was a testlab i´d suggest to reboot all hosts the vsan cluster consists of, since all vms are down anyway.

Since this seems to be a production infrastructure i´d highly suggest to contact vmware support immediately. Let it checked out by vmware. There are many reasons which could cause your behavior. To be 100% sure to not do something wrong and to protect your data, please open a case with vmware.

Best,

Joerg
