Mount a Datastore with vicfg-volume

The
vicfg-volume
 command supports mounting and unmounting volumes.
Use the
vicfg-volume
 command to list mounted volumes, mount new volumes, and unmount a volume. Specify one of the connection options listed in Connection Options for vCLI Host Management Commands in place of
<conn_options>
.
  1. List all volumes that have been detected as snapshots or replicas. 
    vicfg-volume <conn_options> --list
  2. Run
    vicfg-volume --persistent-mount
     with the VMFS-UUID or label as an argument to mount a volume. 
    vicfg-volume <conn_options>  --persistent-mount <VMFS-UUID|label>
    This command fails if the original copy is online.
You can later run
vicfg-volume --unmount
 to unmount the snapshot or replica volume. 
vicfg-volume <conn_options> --unmount <VMFS-UUID|label>
The
vicfg-volume
 command supports resignaturing a snapshot volume and mounting and unmounting the volume. You can also make the mounted volume persistent across reboots and query a list of snapshot volumes and original volumes.
