Hey everyone! So....I have had a dell computer that I converted to a truenas server for quite some time.
Now, I will tell you, Im new to virtualization and I had an idea....
My friend recently gave me a Dell R710 server just cause he doesnt need it and I had an idea!
I exported/disconnected the pool without the data deletw options etc. Worse case scenario, I made a backup of all files and can just copy paste(lol).
So....now, I installed ESXi baremetal...on a 120gb drive that came with the server and I have 4 additional drives that make up my 20TB storage(from my previous server).
I reuploaded the config file from my old server to the new one, plugged in the drives(via usb with the 2 drive caddies x2), however, Ive run into....the pool and drives appear not to exist. So ai plugged them back into the old server and it finds the pool and no problems...
Im trying to figure out how to make them appear in the VM. Idk. Help, advice? Ive been at it...googling for like...8 hours. Lol
Thanks!
