ESX/vSphere Running Slowly - Unable to start VMs

I noticed that one of my VMs wasn't responding, so I tried to reboot it. This caused the whole ESX host to freeze, and I had to force reboot it from the console.

After the host came back online, vSphere was saying that one of the datastores was "dead", and the VMs stored on that data store were showing as "unknown".

I read a support article, that suggested rebooting the host, so I did this, and when it came back up, both data stores appear as online.

Now when using vSphere, it's slow/unresponsive and when trying to poll the datastore list, it just says "Loading" for 5-10mins. I suspect there may still be an issue with the disk, but I am not sure how to proceed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,

Can you check the DataStore is showing in Storage option.

Datastore is visible can you rescan the datastore

Did you see any symptom on logs of this hosts ?

Check vmkernel.log and vmkwarning.log
