  • 1.  Datastore not found after reinstalling ESXi7

    Posted Dec 07, 2022 12:07 AM

    I reinstalled ESXi 7 which is installed on two virtual mirrored drives (Dell R630). I used the same host name and IP address as before. The ESXi install created a new datastore on my VMware OS drive, when I rescan my Perc H730 controller does not see my drives RAID 5 that make up my old datastore.  How do i get it to see my old datastore named VM Datastore?

    I tried to recreate a new datastore but it does not show any storage space aval. except for the datastore space that's in the OS install drive.  How do i get it to see my old datastore named VM Datastore?

    Update somehow my virtual drive was lost. So I have to create a new raid drive for my OS and Datastore and reinstall ESXi.  Case closed

    As this post needs moving to the area for ESXi, I have reported it to the volunteer moderators.
