Hi All,
I really hope someone can help me out with this. I stupidly assumed that once I had gotten rid of ESXi and installed Proxmox that I would be able to import the ZFS pool back into FreeNAS once I had rebuilt FreeNAS as a VM.
I posted this on the Proxmox forums as well, but thought that maybe this might be a better place as its more to do with storage than anything else.
The hardware I have installed on has not changed, I basically installed Proxmox on the same physical hardware.
I can see the disks on Proxmox,
and I have tried to add them to the FreeNAS VM using both
and this
I have also tried virtio, ide, sata and whilst FreeNAS sees the disks, in all formats, I cannot import the pool as it doesnt see a pool.
This is what the VMX file looked like from ESXi
Hoping someone might have an idea of how I can mount the pool again without losing all the data as its historical CCTV data.
Thanks for looking,
