Create a new partition (assuming a standard 1MB offset): recovery vmfs

The Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) is incredibly resilient, but it isn't invincible. The good news? You just need to know the right commands and the right order of operations. partedUtil setptbl /vmfs/devices/disks/naa

First, unmount the datastore (force if necessary). attempt the mount again:

esxcfg-scsidevs -l Look for the device with the correct size and LUN number that does not have a filesystem label next to it. Now, we attempt a manual mount. Use the -r flag for read-only to ensure we don't make the situation worse.

Once the partition is recreated, attempt the mount again:
