Hi,
Our server had an issue with the RAID controller which resulted in the array being reported as foreign. We imported the array again and started up as normal.
However, we have now noticed that the ID of the array has changed, which means its being reported as offline for the datastore!
What we have
datastore1 - VMWare installed, and servers D: drive. Single array.
datastore2 - Servers boot. Two array extents. secondary is appearing as offline!
So what i need to do is update the datastore to point to the new array ID instead of the old one.
Any ideas how i can do this?
Many thanks,
Dan
EDIT: This is the error in the log:
An attached device
naa.6782bcb0504a9f001d833b2f0591b424:1 may
be offline. The file system [datastore2, 5277cbbf-
b61fcc93-7027-842b2b07db68] is now in a
degraded state. While the datastore is still
available, parts of data that reside on the extent
that went offline might be inaccessible.
error.
EDIT2: If i try to increase the storage capacity again, i get this error:
Call "HostDatastoreSystem.ExtendVmfsDatastore" for object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi failed.
Operation failed, diagnostics report: Unable to add extent to filesystem : Extent naa.6782bcb0504a9f00ff00003c03df4687:1 is already a part of the volume.
The datastore capacity is 2.35TB, which would include the 545GB RAID array and the 1.8TB RAID array. but only part is showing up.
