I got this issue with my iSCSI disk provided by Microsoft Windows Server. I am able to access the iSCSI datastore, all of my Virtual Machines are operational with any issue, my iSCSI datastore is showing as inactive but its status is showing normal. It happend after I had removed iSCSI targets from Windows but and added new target after some time. What I did; Rescanned all datastore multiple times --- no luck restarted management services from SSH of all ESXi hosts with command $ services.sh restart --- no luck Removed and re-added targets from iSCSI (Windows) Side --- no luck Removed few VMs which were in inaccessible state and then rescanned datastore --- no luck Finally restarted each ESXi host at a time, it solved the problem.
