Hello,
We had a big power outage and were not able to shutdown the server in time. If that was not enough, the USB key used to boot ESXi seems to have died since the last boot and is unreadable so I had to rebuild a new ESXi 6.0 on a new key.
Dell PowerEdge T430
ESXi 6.0.0 Update 3 (Build 13635687) (Latest from Dell.)
Small place, no vCenter, no other servers connecting to those datastores.
Both local datastores on a raid and icsci datastores for backups have the same problem.
The devices are found, (normal, degraded) I can see the vmfs partitions on them but no datastore or vm are found. I also get an unhandled exception in the ESXi web client when trying to browse datastore, adding a new vm does not open any new window or anything.
I tried a couple console commands (voma, esxcli storage, vmfkstools, etc...) found here or in the vmware support website when searching for datastore problems but none worked so far. (Sorry, I've been at this for hours and I'm a bit tired and don't remember all I tried.)
Rebuilding all the vms would not be a problem if at least I could access the datastores for the bare metal backups of AD and Exchange.
I'm going to sleep now but I'll be able to provide logs or more info in a couple hours.
Thank you!
