Hello everyone,
Yesterday I passed me something weird. I have a ESxi 4.1 with few Datastore, two one of them is on Local Disk and another on SAN.
So my datastore on Disk local is called Datastore2 and Datastore1(2), one last is no longer show on vSphere in Datastore section. However, The lun shows up available on section "Add Store".
Go throught SSH on the volumes directory and this is listed:
/vmfs/volumes # ls -l

Waht can I do in order to show up again as Datastore on vSphere without formatting o lose data?
Thanks in advanced for you help.
I let me tell that solution was the only and infalible way, I rebooted the hypervisor.
