Hi community
I have a large VMWare esxi environment with multiple hosts and clusters and multiple datastores.
3 of my datastores have suddenly become unmountable\inaccessible.
I have made sure the mapping and zoning on the storage is correct and all the hosts are mapped to all the datastores.
I dont know what else i can do to access these datastores again. I have multiple VMs that are now also inaccessible because of this and I cannot migrate them or do anything at all to bring them back online
I found a fix.
vmkfstools --lock lunreset /vmfs/devices/disks/nameofthelun
If this is a production business environment, you should be opening a support request with GSS right about now.
yes, this is a production environment for business.
And i have logged a call with support, however the business only has basic support so I will only be contacted tomorrow
Check vmkernel.log when executing esxcfg-rescan -A. Post the active lines of the log here.
Regards,
Joerg
