raid degraded, datastore stuck in limbo
I am running esxi 4.0.0, so apparently, I can't install plug ins to use the "maps" feature and see if anything is still pointing to a stuck datastore that won't delete. The raid drives for the...

Welcome to the Community, basically you can access the CLI on the host even with the free edition, it's only the API which is limited. Anyway, you may run RVTools (http://www.robware.net/) to get an...

There have been no snapshots. None of the VM's from that datastore even exist any more. They were all lost when the raid drive was lost. So there are no VM's in vsphere to check for ghost files...

but it doesn;t says 4.1 Embded version? can u confirm is it still support ESXi 4.1 embded version?

View ArticleRe: HP BL460c Gen8 Server support version
