I hope this isn't some newbie question, but I'll ask it anyway.
We've recently deployed VMware ESX, converted a number of servers over to VMware as well as deployed new ones. We had an instance where a VMserver would no longer would start (kept saying missing files). Based on reading similar case, I removed it from inventory, created a new VM and for the hard drive went to 'attach to an existing drive". When I browsed to the directory, I found it empty. I then noticed all the directories were empty.
Going into Inventory, I opened up the VMFS stores, and while I could see directories, I couldn't see any files. This held true for my login as well as the Administrator.
Now I know these files are there as the VM's work, and I can see the available space go down when I add additional VM's, but why can I not see them?
I'm still searching this list to see if anyone has already asked this, but I would appreciate it if anyone had any suggestions. Also, my account is setup as Administrator, so I would imaging that I have the rights to see these files.
Thank you.
