Specify one of the connection options listed in Connection Options for vCLI Host Management Commands in place of <conn_options>.

Procedure
1

List unresolved snapshots or replica volumes. 

esxcli <conn_options> storage vmfs snapshot list

Run the resignature command. 

esxcli <conn_options> storage vmfs snapshot resignature --volume-label=<label>|--volume-uuid=<id>

What to do next

After resignaturing, you might have to perform the following operations.

■

If the resignatured datastore contains virtual machines, update references to the original VMFS datastore in the virtual machine files, including .vmx, .vmdk, .vmsd, and .vmsn.

■

To power on virtual machines, register them with the vCenter Server system.
