Hi,
I had a problem with a server running ESXI 4.0.
The server runs ESXi 4.0 and on the ESXi environment runs 3 virtualmachine.
One of the virtual machine is OpenFiler, a file server application.
The server use two disk in Raid (one seems corrupted)
Now the server died completely and I have to recover the files stored in the OpenFiler directory.
I removed the HD from the machine and connected to another machine. Unfortunately the ESXI environment do not start correctly due to NIC card incompatibility.
So I have a 250G HD with the following partitions>
- Hypervisor0 4MB FAT
- Hypervisor1 250MB FAT
- Hypervisor2 250MB FAT
- Unnamed 11MB unknown type
- Hypervisor3 299 MB FAT
- Unamed partiton 227 MB
- unknown type 4 GB FAT
- unknow type 227GB unknown type
I suppose that the data are on the 227GB unknown partition since they should be aroun 75GB of data but I have no idea on how to access it.
An attempt could be to mount the ESXi as a virtual machine on VmWare Workstation but the file is a disk and not a virtual machine so I do not know how to mount it.
Could you please suggest a solution?
Thank you
Giovanni
