Hi Guys,
I am a beginner in VMware ESXi. I am a NetBackup Administrator, I am trying to setup a home lab on my new I5 CPU - 16 GB RAM system with ESXi 5.0 for learning purpose.
Earlier I had ESXi 5.0 installed and in working condition on I3 CPU. I moved the same 250 GB HDD to new I5 and lost the DataStore from VMWare vSphere Client.The HDD does show in BIOS and in Bootmenu.
- I have tried to rescan for VMFS and Datastore, no luck.
- I have tried to reinstall the Hypervisor but it fails to list the disk.
- I used Win 2008 disk and started installation, I was able to see the disk and multiple partitions (I supposed my VM disks). I deleted all those partitions and cancelled the installation. Started installation for ESXi again, but it was again unable to find the disk.
Please assist.
