Hi All,

Looking for a little guidance to "attempt" resolution for an issue in one of our lab servers.  Firstly, there is no back up, the data on it is not critical, just annoying if we lose it (it hosts a vmware esxi server and storage for app demo purposes).

What happened, Some of the VM's started to fail an vCenter was reporting disk failures. Fearing the worst as the server is remote from me (!!), I forced a reboot, as expected, it hasn't come back!

I've had one of the team look at the server and ALL disk lights are solid green (unexpected!!), but in the H700 Perc it's showing "No configuration present" in the VD Mgmt page.

Foreign View Does show the old disk config (RAID 10) - 4 disks 146gb each SPAN 0 + SPAN 1.

In PD Mgmt, all drives show "Foreign".

Next thing I'm looking to see is if we can IMPORT the foreign config and start again.

I suspect there will be a drive failing somewhere, but was very surprised to see the lost config instead, if we can get it back online long enough to attempt to vmotion the servers away, we'll replace any failing drives.

Tips or suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Anthony..
