Hi all,
I have 2 freenas servers (Server1). The first one has 1 Zvol shared via iscsi to a esxi server. This zvol is replicated to the second server (Server2) via snapshots and replication tasks.
It seems that the replication is working as expected, because the zvol in the replicated freenas is growing.
But I want to ensure that the replication works ok, and I'd like to mount this replicated zvol in (server2) vis iscsi to a esxi server in order to check if the files in the zvol are ok.
My question is:
Is a good decision to mount a zvol from a replica server via ISCSI to a esxi server as a datastore, configuring extent as read-only.? I don't need to modify data inside this zvol, just list files or even copy some data to others datastores.
I fear that replication can be corrupted if the data on the replica zvol are updated for some reason
