Hello,
I have read that freenas can be virtualized on esxi hypervisor and also that it can possible to "pass", if I well undestand what I have read, the physical disk to virtualized freenas.
What I mean is:
-Build up an esxi server, create a standard esxi datastore;
-Configure a VM with a freenas boot disk into standard esxi datastore and setup there;
-Configure this Vm to use the disks that compose my pool and import it inside Virtual Freenas, without loose pool/data.
My intent shuld be to not destroy/rebuild the actual pool because this would mean to do a backup of my data then restore back (even if a config like previous is it possible....)
So my question: Is it possible??
Is there a way to virtualize freenas and re-use old pool?
Thank you
