Recovering a Virtual Machine

[gilljr]

I am running 3 machines as ESXi 4 VMWare servers and am managing it with vSphere.

One of my SANS failed and I just was able to get the data recovered.

Here is my issue. The Virtual Machines are no longer listed on the VMWare server and I cannot find a way to re-add the machines. Is there a way to re-insert the machines into the system? I have mapped the new datastore that has the recovered files and can see the files.

vSphere Client Version 4.1.0

vCenter Server Version 4.1.0

VMware ESXi, 4.0.0, 504850

Welcome to the Community - if the LUN has been presented to the ESX hosts you should be able to use the datastore browser and readd the VMs to the inventory -

I did not see that option until I highlighted the vmx file. Missed that before. Thank you for your help.
