Corrupt Datastore

My EXSi Host is not able to communicate with the datastore. After several troubleshooting, I came across these errors on the monitor section of the datastore (see below)


At least one corrupt on-disk heartbeat region was detected on volume 5ec7d2d8-6d046ce2-1e68-08f1eab19804 (datastore1). Other regions of the volume might be damaged too.

Afterwards, I tried to copy out the VMs to another datastore. I kept on getting errors:


Move of file or directory /vmfs/volumes/5ec7d2d8-6d046ce2-1e68-08f1eab19804/Images from datastore1 to Datastore2 as /vmfs/volumes/660e9eb0-7d707a93-f40c-002655df2a06/Images was initiated from 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/123.0.0.0 Safari/537.36@192.168.110.1' and completed with status 'Failure'

Please, what can I do to get the VMs out of the corrupted datastore?

Thank you in advance

Do you have a support contract?
