swathimp Jan 31, 2019 10:57 PM (in response to Viktor_2018)If you have access to connect to ESXi , kindly check if the host is able to see the respective LUN. Rescan the storage for that host

2. Re: Vmdk file is not connected
Viktor_2018 Jan 31, 2019 11:04 PM (in response to swathimp)Scanned storage! Connect the LUN to another server. The problem repeats. Most likely a problem with the file.

6. Re: Vmdk file is not connected
Viktor_2018 Feb 1, 2019 2:24 AM (in response to HassanAlKak88)I compared this LUN with another server and the problem is the same. The system does not see the VMDK when added to a virtual machine.

HassanAlKak88 Feb 1, 2019 2:44 AM (in response to Viktor_2018)First step, please confirm that the new server see the LUN as datastore after the mapping.

please advise,

You only have the flat.vmdk - so you must create a new descriptor vmdk. -
