Totally crap! My ESX server is down for almost 24 hours yesterday due to my NAS machine hardware failure (HDD). One of the Datastore (IDE) frequently cause my nas machine hanged. When it's hanged, both datastore (IDE & SATA) showed in ESX as "inactive". All virtual machine (2) running inside this datastore (IDE) can't be recovered while on the SATA (8) I managed to have all of it. Lucky for my scalix mail server, I just need 2 hours to do SLES10 & Scalix mail server installation and make all services working as normal.
