SAN LUN Corruption

[Mr__Smoothie]

All, have a ESX 3.5 server with attached SAN stroage that has suffered a SAN LUN corruption. The apprication vitrual servers on the VMWare host has shutdown unexpectedly and cannot be powered on due to a corrupted LUN on SAN storage. What can I do to restore production level service ASAP?

If its really and truly corrupted, you get to restore from backups.

he's correct. But I'm curious, for completeness, what caused the lun to become corrupted?

[Mr__Smoothie]

Not sure at this point still working it.

Keep us posted...

Was the ESX host attached to mulitple luns? If so, what is the state of the others?

Was it vmfs or RDM?

What kind of array was it?
