fdisk -l /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.xxxxxxxxxxxx ESXi has a built-in recovery tool that can restore a VMFS partition table if the VMFS superblock is intact. Method A: Using partedUtil restore First, check if a VMFS volume is detectable: recover vmfs partition table
ls /vmfs/devices/disks/ Look for the affected LUN. It will look something like: naa.600601605a281b00c1d5b86c5a3be011 partedUtil set /vmfs/devices/disks/naa
esxcfg-volume -l If the disk shows a known VMFS UUID but not mounted, try: The partition table on a VMFS datastore is
Check partition information:
VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) is a high-performance cluster file system designed for storing virtual machine files, including disks, snapshots, and configuration data. The partition table on a VMFS datastore is a critical component that defines where the VMFS volume begins and ends on the physical LUN or disk.
