Dear All,
I needed to migrate a vm from a esxi host ( in order to upgrade the host ), error cannot relocate the vm migrate fails.
Powerd off the vm and migrated the vm to another host as the vm disappeared from the VC gui , I started to mount a iso 5.1 esxi to the host and upgraded this host.
Result was a corrupt datastore and a missing vm ...I think the vm was never really moved,..only 2 dump files where created no vmx or what so ever.
our SAN a HP eva shows no problems...lun is still presented to our hosts but they cannot see data on it.
How can VMWare corrupt my Datastore and vm, has this to do with the migration opf the host...
I want to know the cause , so in the future I can take a lesson out of this action.
thanks for all the reply.
