HPE Nimble HF20 LUN corrupted

[amir977]

Hello to everyone,

I have huge problem with one LUN on my nimble storage. Somehow, one of my three LUNs was formated to Win95 FAT32 partition. These luns are used by vmware hosts. I try to repair partition and change it to vmfs partition type, but without success.

I read in the nimble documentation, that there are hidden snapshots of LUNs that are done every hour.

Is there any possibility to recover the problematic lun from these hidden snapshots?
