My Datastore gone on ESXI 6.5

[Sassy_35]

Hello,

Im really need your help with that issue...

[ashwin_prakash]

What is the user name using which you have logged in to the web client of the ESXI host.

Is this host managed by a vCenter server? If yes what is the status when you login from vCenter server webclient.

Do you see the datastores listed when you take a putty session to the ESXi host under (/vmfs/volume/)

[Sassy_35]

Hello and thanks for your reply.

The user name is:root

there no vcenter server.

Do you see the datastore when you take a SSH (putty) session to the host.

Have you tried to check using a different browser (Chrome / Mozilla / IE).

Clear cash on the browser.

Reboot the host.

Hi ashwin_prakash,

How to check in Putty?

Im checked with diffrent browser and reset the host , same here...

Activate ssh on this host and connect with putty via SSH to this host.

Then check if cou can see your Datastore under this path:

/vmfs/volumes/

Hi ,

Try to rescan and refresh the storage devices

Also login to ESXi using putty and check below commands  , for this you have to enable SSH from DCUI  or Web client

esxcli storage core device list command to generate a list of LUNs currently connected to the ESXi host.

Also you can do CD to \vmfs\volume  and using LS command to view the details

[dhanarajramesh]

try to do stoarge rescan in the host and see.

[advunips2]

I think not that this is your Datastore, cause the size is only "7629824"

[advunips2]

Sorry. My mistake. Go into this folder with:

cd /vmfs/volumes

after that look what there is inside with:

ls -la
