Recovering accidental deleted VM's in ESX4.0

Hi,

I accidently deleted a VM (centos) in ESX-4.0 and was not able to recover the data on the same. Could any one please help on this.


ESX server was configured with RAID-1 (DISK MIRRORING) which is a local disk but no backup utility was used/configured.


Troubleshooting steps tried:

I tried rescaning the Datastore and VMFS but no luck;

Created new VM with custom mode to use existing vmdk file to see if the deleted file present on Datastore, again no luch Smiley Sad

I remember few file names which resides in deleted VM, By anychance is it possible to recover those files, atleast.



Regards,
