I'm trying to move a Volume from a system that crashed, to another system. The crash is not related to the drives so everything is still healthy, aside from having been unable to properly "export" the volume first.

The drives are in the new system, "zpool import", but the Storage tab on the web interface still does not show the volumes.

Before I try something and end up wiping my drives, can anyone provide info on how to import an existing volume?

Thanks in advance.

Code:
[root@freenas] ~# zpool status
  pool: Volume1
state: ONLINE
  scan: scrub repaired 0 in 1h50m with 0 errors on Sun Jan 17 01:50:18 2016
config:

        NAME                                            STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        Volume1                                         ONLINE       0     0     0

Bah, never mind. It looks like the Import Volume function does not show the volumes that were already imported on the command line. I simply "zpool export Volume1", then the Import Volume in the gui listed the volume and I was able to import it and get it to show in the gui just like before!
