Eventually, we all have an accident or get hacked. And when we do, backups are often the only way to recover. Backups are cheap and easy; make sure you are backing up all of your personal information (such as family photos) on a regular basis.

Vmware ESX 5.5 cannot see Lun on HP P2000 Storage System
This post was originally published on this site
hi folks,
we have deployed vsphere 5.5 that includes 2 HP DL380G7 Servers and HP MSA P2000 Storage as our SAN. it worked fine for about 1 year but yesterday we had a power failure. there are 2 LUNs created and mapped to hosts. Lun 11 is accessible and working perfect. but hosts in cluster cannot see the LUN number 21. however if i try to directly connect to esx Servers using vmware vsphere client and add storage, i can see the storage and i can add it. the problems is why i cannot see Disk inside Vcenter. and why when i try to add it directly inside client (connected to ESX and not vmware Vcenter) it asks for format and wipe of all data. even inside Vcenter i can see Path and devices are working fine and can see the space and Partition format assigned to disk. there are some errors inside vmkernel which i add below.

If you have children visiting or staying with family members (such as grandparents), make sure the family members know your rules concerning technology that your kids must follow. Just because your kids leave the house does not mean the rules about what they can do online change.
