Is There Anyway to Undo a Quick Initialize from a Perc6/i VD?
- by Carlo71
I stupidly fast initialized an existing Raid 5 Array Virtual disk with 10 Virtual Machines after creating a new Raid 5 Array. The VDs switched order on the list of the Perc Controller.
My server is a PowerEdge R710 with a Perc 6/i Raid controller running ESXi 5.1. The Bios of the R710 and the Perc 6/i controller are both running the latest firmware. I tried the steps on this article: http://www.caseyfulton.com/dell-perc-6i-fast-initialize-how-to-restore/.
However the BartPE just freezes on the Windows XP slapsh page.
Does anybody know a full proof method? I have backups of the VMs, however I would like to avoid restoring all of them due to time constraint.
