I have an esxi 5.0 host with an adaptec 5405 raid controller in it. it was a standard esxi installation without installing any additional drivers.
the raid array was found and i installed the vmfs on it.
i wanted to be able to monitor the status of the raid from within the vsphere client so i decided to install the adaptec raid controller drivers i found here
after i did that and rebootet the host the storage was gone.... so i removed the vib package again and rebootet.... now the storage seems to be gone for good... is there any way to get that storage back? i didnt touch the raid controllers configuration. every change was done within the esxi enviroment.
