Datastore - Free size in minus values, and then suddenly in huge size.

Dear All,

 

We came across with a strange issue last month.

We have a vmware cluster with 2 esxi 4.1 hosts.

Friday morning, suddenly we lost connection to all VMs running on both esx hosts and lost connection to storage.

After 1st esx restart 3rd volume was still in disconnected state.

After esx host restart, and rescan, it showed free size in minus for 3rd datastore.

And bizarre issue was, suddenly after 3rd rescan it showed total capacity of 4000TB, and free size of 293 TB. Entire storagebox is not bigger than 8 TB.

This situation remained till friday, and suddenly after another rescan on Monday, the datastore showed again correct size and issue was completely solved and did not occur till now.

We are still wondering what went wrong for 3 days.

There were zero errors at storage level or at hardware level.

 

Strange issue which got solved itself!!!! Has anyone seen this in their environment?
