One of the guys on my team was trying to downgrade from 6.5 to 6.0 so we could import this remote host into our main vpshere serverc which is on 6.0u2, as well as reset the root password which was improperly documented at the time of install, so nobody could access it. The Vm's were all stored to local storage on this server. During the install he did selected "Install" from the options so the root password would be reset. However after the restart we can see the Storage under devices, but there are no datastores showing up after a re-scan and adding a new one only gives the option to format and re partition. I'd really rather not do this for obvious reasons. The OS is installed to a SD card and the datastores are on physical disks so he figured the datastores would remain, but just need to be re added. This was also a fresh install of 6.5 and the servers vmotioned over from a older 5.5 server when this was set up about 6 months ago. Any command line wizardry or options I don't know about that we can use to salvage this situation?
