  • 1.  Incorrect display of datastorage in Vcenter

    Posted May 07, 2025 09:04 AM

    Hello.

    After rebooting VCENTER and storage system (HP P2000G3), one of the datastores is displayed as an incorrect type and has 0 bytes of free space. At the same time, everything is displayed correctly on ESXI hosts. VMs on this DS work fine, they can be rebooted.

    I tried rebooting Vcenter and updating DS size information, it doesn't help. What else can I do?

    Versions:
    vcenter: 7.0.3.01900
    esxi: 6.7.0, 20497097 & 7.0.3, 24411414

    What may be something you can try, is to run vmkfstools -V (note that it is an upper-case -V) on each ESXi host.

    As a result, I restored the VM with VCenter from the Veaam backup. Everything works fine, but I had to delete the VMs that I had removed earlier from the inventory. I also need to recreate the DS port group if they were made after the backup from which I was restoring.
