VMWare ESXi 5.5.0 - I have an HP Server with a RAID 5 configuration that after replacing a (1) drive and re initializing the RAID, my datastore is now not mounting. I have two missing VM's. In the storage configuration I should have 2 datastores. Under datastores only one is showing. Under devices I I show two devices. naa.600508b1001c698c8f8380587e5cc212 is what I am after. If I rescan, it does not mount. If I go to add storage, choose LUN, and regardless if I choose VMFS-5 or VMFS-3 I get prompted with "this configuration will delete the current disk layout. All file systems and data will be permanently lost."
Running partedUtil getptbl /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.600508b1001c698c8f8380587e5cc212
I get

Running esxcli storage vmfs snapshot list bring be back to the command prompt so I'm guessing its not viewing it as a snapshot
I have a hard time believing that the raid wiped my data with the rebiuld of just one drive in a raid 5.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.
