ESXU3新功能-VMDK 恢复工具
VMDK Recovery Tool
目前该还处在实验阶段，兄弟们使用的时候注意
Purpose（用途）
Use the VMDK Recovery Tool to:
Create a “block list” of your VMDK files. The block list file is aplain text file that keeps a record of all VMDKs of the virtualmachines.
Recover VMDK files if they become deleted, or if the VMFS datastore gets deleted or corrupted.
Limitations（限制）
The VMDK Recovery Tool is a utility VMware provides in ESX 3.5 Update 3 as experimental software.
Experimental means that the tool is not supported and might not work as expected in all customer environments.
The tool is not available for ESXi.
You cannot restore from multiple block list files.
工具使用：
To use the tool:
Log in to the service console and enter the vmfs-undelete command. Select option [ b ]. This lists all the virtual machines registered on your host.
Either select [ 99 ] to back up a vmdk blocklist of all the virtualmachines, or select a number from the virtual machine list to back up aspecific virtual machine.
While backing up, the tool prompts you to specify the filename tobackup the data. You can either give an absolute path (the file isnewly created by the tool) or it will be saved in the current workingdirectory.
例子：
Sample session:
[root@esx11]# vmfs-undelete
