Hi, we have an HP Proliant ML350 G6 with a p410i RAID controller. The raid was created using 4 1TB disks, as this:
Disk 1: RAID 0
Disks 2-4: RAID 5
The server is running ESXi 4.1 since 2011 without any issue until yesterday.
What we did was installing two new SAS disks, and created a new logical volume using the HP ORCA Setup. Then, when we tried to reboot, the server was trying to boot from the new disks, so, we removed the new disks and deleted the new logical volume, the other two where left untouched.
When we booted again, entering into viClient, in the configuration tab, theres a big "The VMware ESX server does not have persistent storage" label. And I can't access any VM, nor datastore.
From command line, if I do fdisk -l it doesn't show anything.
I've attached my /var/log/messages file for you to check it out.
Does anyone know what can I do to get access to the disks?.
