Let me premise my questions/requests by letting you know this is not a production environment, but merely a lab for testing and training. I'm trying to determine if the problem lies with FreeNas or ESXi.

I had a single ESXi 5.1 host with two nested vEsxi host in a cluster. Two FreeNas 8.3 shared iSCSI storage VMs where the datastores reside.

The problem started after I built a new physical host to mimic the existing one.

After migrating the content of the old datastore to the new one, the new ESXi host cannot see the data on the FreeNas iSCSI NFS share. (See screenshot attachment)

The one post on this forum that closely resembles my problem is this one:
http://forums.freenas.org/threads/pool-gone-after-reset-import-does-not-help.14435/
FlynnVT, with wicked knowledge of both FreeNas and ESXi, figured out what this issue was.

I've done quite a bit troubleshooting steps on the ESXi side of things, but limited in my FreeNas skills.

Below are some results on the FreeNas side, but I can't determine if anything's wrong ... or am I missing something?

FlynnVT, your wisdom in this would be greatly appreciated ... if you're still around. (not to discourage anyone else from taking a crack at it:))
