Hi,
I've lost a datastore.
In my server, I have an SDD and 3 hard drives.
Suddenly, one of the hard disks disappeared from the datastore. Unfortunately, I can not put it back up.
I followed the following procedure: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2046610
See the hard drive disk in bold below :
[root@ESXi:~] offset="128 2048"; for dev in `esxcfg-scsidevs -l | grep "Console Device:" | awk {'print
$3'}`; do disk=$dev; echo $disk; partedUtil getptbl $disk; { for i in `echo $offset`; do echo "Checking
offset found at $i:"; hexdump -n4 -s $((0x100000+(512*$i))) $disk; hexdump -n4 -s $((0x1300000+(512*$i
))) $disk; hexdump -C -n 128 -s $((0x130001d + (512*$i))) $disk; done; } | grep -B 1 -A 5 d00d; echo "-
--------------------"; done

In the ESXi interface, this hard drive disk is not visible :
Do you an idea to restore this hard drive disk ?
Thanks !
Best regards.
