Dell Server T620 Bad Blocks Virtual Disk Error
We had to replaced the raid battery on this server running ESXI. The raid controller is a H710 adapter. After rebooting the server (and replacing the raid battery), we are getting a error about The Virtual Disk has bad blocks.
I have ran the consistency disk check and after finishing, still getting the error.
I know I can run the "clear bad blocks" in the OMSA but wondering what would happen if I do so or should I either try to move the .vmdk files to a external drive, delete and rebuild the RAID and then copy it back as one option.
Server has no warranty so i can't asked support about this.
No Events found!

Hi,
If you have run the consistency check and the issue persist, the best solution is to delete, rebuild and initialize VD.
You can try using the clear bad block in OMSA, I would like to advice to do a full data back up first.
