ESXi 5.5
2x LSI 8380ELP
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 v3.0 bios
I was humming along fine on 5.1, I then updated to 5.5 and everything was stll fine. Two weeks later I now have 3 specific datastores/drives that disappear from ESXi. They are all on the same LSI controller and port. There are two more drive on that controller but they have no issue. The drives don't disappear from the LSI array, only from ESXi. They are all essentially setup as single drive Raid 0. (pretty much a jbod). I'm not sure if this is an LSI problem because they show up in the LSI bios just fine. Only ESXi has the issue seeing them after reboot. You can add them back to the datastore listing without issue with data still intact. However soon as you reboot the server they are gone again.
Anybody have any ideas on what could cause this?
