Hi all,
We had an old server with loads of HDDs used as "NAS" and presenting 2x iSCSI volumes to ESXi hosts. These volumes were presented to few hosts, on 2x separate datacentres, under same vCentre.
This old server died and we did not bother to bring it back online.
When we logon to vSphere client the datastore is greyed out, but shows as "mounted" and "connected". Operational status is "dead or error".
If I try to unmount the datastore it gives me the error message: "Call "HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume" for object "storageSystem-287108" on vCenter Server "vcentreXXX.mydomain.local" failed."
Does it mean that I just need to delete the datastore from the ESXi host?
From vmkwarning log the last entry to this datastore goes back to the day it died.
tail'ing vmkernel.log does not show anything related to this datastore.
comments/suggestions are appreciated.
