How to read Proxmox ZFS disks from a crashed server

[f.somenzi]

Hello, a server on which Proxmox installed with ZFS was installed died suddenly. How can it be possible to read the contents of the disks? We should retrieve some files stored in a VM on it.
Thank you

From my experience you might be able to simply attach the drive and use ZFS import -f. Not sure how Proxmox would handle a second identical ZFS pool though - my experience here is doing this with secondary storage drives, i.e. dedicated VM storage that Proxmox itself was not installed on

zpool import -o readonly=on -f POOLNAME
That was only command that worked for me... and I had to give that from live ISO image.
After that I could read the pool and copy images to safety.
