  • 1.  Datastore mounting

    Hello. 

    I'm writing a script to clone a Nimble volume and then mount that clone volume as a VMFS datastore onto vSphere. The issue I'm having is that when I mount the datastore, using the New-Datastore command, it reformats the drive and I loose the cloned data.

    When running through this in the GUI it gives the option to apply a new signature to the datastore when mounting, however I can't seem to find anyway to do this via PowerShell.

    Is there anything that I may have missed or something that I need to do to the clone before mounting? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
