Troubleshoot missing datastore with VMware cluster

Description of the issue

After a storage outage, this error appears every time the administrator tries to enable a datastore

DATASTORE-10: The datastore cannot be enabled because it no longer exists on the target machine

Technical and functional details

In cluster mode, Abiquo will detect a datastore if:

Abiquo has read/write access
Maintenance mode is normal or not supplied

It is not a requirement that all hosts in the cluster must mount the datastore.

BUT on ALL hosts that mount the datastore, it must be correctly mounted: accessible, and configured with read write access

How to resolve this issue

Check the hosts in your cluster that mount the datastore and remove any inaccessible hosts from the cluster.

You can configure Abiquo to return datastores if they are correctly mounted (accessible and not in maintenance mode) on at least one host in a cluster.
