Inaccessible datastore.

Cleber Zorzi — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 20:41:40 GMT

Hello,

I have an environment with 2 hosts running version 7.0U1 and OVC 4.1.0, which had been operating for 5 years.

Host 2 failed, and it appears that storage HA functioned as expected. omni.cube.io is responding with the storage IPs of both OVCs.

The datastore volumes are mounted, but they are not accessible. The image is below:

It shows zero under "provisioned".

What could be happening?

Thanks for the help.

Cleber

Hello @Cleber Zorzi,

The datastores are still listed, but the 0 B provisioned value suggests the NFS storage is not responding correctly after Host 2 failed. The data may still be intact.

Check that the surviving OVC is healthy and that the ESXi host can reach its storage IP. Also, do not remove or recreate the datastores until this is confirmed.
