Hi All,
I've been trying to search over ther internet for a solution to fix this. I'm the new IT person for my organization and our previous IT have not kept any records on certain things. I do understand, that its a bad practice but I'm now making all these on a documentation for any future reference.
Having said that; recenty I came across an issue on our server. We're using an HP Proliant DL180 Gen6 server with ESXi 5.0 ... The issue is; that I'm unable to power up certain VM's as it gave me I/O error. Below seen was the error;
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/4e7a4edb-08851e40-0c1e-1cc1de700f23/VM-GATEWAY ( 192.168.0.1 )/VM-GATEWAY ( 192.168.1.2 )-000001.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Somehow, by the help of this topic I managed to collect few information and able to understand certain things. If anyone can help me to fix this issue without loosing DATA(s) & also guide me what to do further by answering below;
- Since the array is on a RAID6, I understand that we can replace whether the array will be rebuild. In such case, will I loose any DATA(s)
Thank you in advance.
