Data Loss - Recovery Possible?
After an unfortunate series of events I have a VM residing on a Celerra NFS mount that is not accessible. Stupidly, I was only using snapshots to "protect" this VM. I am now simply trying to find an answer to the question, is data recovery possible?
The Celerra experienced a sudden power outage and there were a number of hardware component failures upon powering the unit back on - one SPS and one DM had to be replaced. Our third-party support was able to get all the LUNs back online, but all of the file systems were corrupted - some more so than others.
The VM in question was shut down at the time of the power outage and resided on a set of disks that stored nothing else. The vmdk file itself is corrupt; I am unable to attach it to another VM nor can I download it via the datastore browser or scp.
