Right now, I have a VMFS5 datastore that seems to be fine but not showing on a datastore volume in the web or shell of ESXi 6.7 or 7.0. ESXi doesn't seem
I'm running a ESXi vSphere standalone (free-license) connected to an iSCSI TrueNAS Core SAN target. My setup has been working fine for a while. It had to shutdown for a while and the network moved without being changed.
I've got other datastores are running fine on the same iSCSI path, except one datastore. It is VMFS5 datastore. I'm planning to upgrade it to VMFS6 once I can verify it working. I can see the iSCSI path and iSCSI block device in question on the both the ESXi 6.7 AND 7.0 servers. To me this looked like an VMFS format issue. So I ran voma to check for VMFS issues, but it came back clean.
