How to get VMFS data from zvol after FreeNAS crash?
ESXi was installed on a USB flash drive, and a FreeNAS machine was installed on it. She gave the screws to the hyper via iSCSI. Burned flash drive, inserted another one, imported ZFS volumes, created new iSCSI settings, but when ESXi mounts the device, it shows up as Normal, degraded . Thus offering to format them and not mounting them as storage.
The only thing I can find on the internet:
esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /LVM/DisallowSnapshotLun
This returns output similar to:
Value of DisallowSnapshotLun is 0
After this is done, issue a storage controller rescan followed by a filesystem refresh:
esxcli storage core adapter rescan --all
vmkfstools -V

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2129058 - it works, you need to mount the snapshot as a disk. It didn't work for me, because the NAS was in read-only mode, and the hyper wanted to write some changes there, apparently rewrite the header to read as a disk, and not as a snapshot.
Didn't find what you were looking for?
