Hello everyone!
Longtime lurker.
I have and ESX server in my home on a Dell 2850 running a local RAID 5 off of the PERC controller. I had a drive fail so i shutdown the system, replaced the drive and repaired the RAID volume. Since the reboot the datastore is not showing up correctly in vSphere. See below:
Looking through various posts on the matter I can see the issue in /vmfs/volumes:
/vmfs/volumes # ls -l
ls: ./4d48ec18-f7b20a82-2f14-001143362e2a: No such device or address

4d48ec18-f7b20a82-2f14-001143362e2a is missing and I am at a stop on trying to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated as I view this as a learning opportunity.
Thanks in advance!
