Hi All,
Hoping someone can help me.
This is my setup. HP Server running ESXI from an internal 32GB SD card and local storage configured as my datastore.
I initially upgraded my ESXI from 6.5 to 6.7. During the setup I chose 'Upgrade' and not "Install'.
The Install itself went fine, no errors during the upgrade, server rebooted only to not boot any of my VM's.
I logged in to have a look and noticed that my datastore was now missing. The internal HDD's are detected (refer to pic) however, no datastore (refer to pic).
Now since ESXI is not installed on the same disks as my VM's.. I thought obviously something went wrong during the upgrade. So I performed the upgrade again, only this time during the setup process I chose 'Install' instead of 'Upgrade'. I didn't think this would be a problem because the ESXI hard disk and the datastore hard disks are separate disks.
Again, install went fine. No issues, no errors.. however I still cant see my datastore. Can anyone point in the right direction as to what is going on?
I haven't created any new datastores, I have re-scanned for any datastores that may be detected, all to no avail.
I have the data that was contained within my VM's, I just dont have the VM's themselves and I would really prefer to somehow get the datastore and the VM's back, rather than creating new VM's.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
