Long shot, but here goes: Anyone know of a way to import an unmanaged volume into VMware?

I know there's an ImportUnmanagedSnapshot API call you can make, but I can't find any clear documentation on how to use it.

Generally i just recommend creating a blank vVol and overwriting it from the snap/volume

VMware plans to deprecate that API if i recall. But this is all there is https://www.codyhosterman.com/2017/04/importing-a-vvol-snapshot-with-powercli/
