Removal of Datastore when ESXi4.1 is restarted

[NdiaAdmin]

Before Shutdown of ESX host, it was made to enter the Maintenance mode and all VMs were migrated to another host.

After startup and exit from Maintenance mode, single datastore was removed automatically.

Refresh/Re-scan of all HBAs did not resolve the issue.

Any help????

Hi,

Restart the server and then try to Re-Scan the storage

Hi,

goto configuration, storage adapter and check if the LUN is visible to the host.

If so, the ESX server might not mount the datastore because he thinks it could be a snaphot device.

If the LUN isn't visible under storage adapter, check your zoning and masking.
