+   - you can resignature a forced mounted LUN as well, you have to unmount then resignature.
    - OR you can do it from the vSphere Client GUI, simply do an "Add Storage" and select to "Keep existing signature" or "Create new signature", it does the same thing but for all the ESX hosts in the cluster, which might be easier since ''esxcfg-volume'' operates on a single ESX host level.

+== Update ==
+With the introduction of ''esxcli'' and ''localcli'' that replace multiple ''esxcfg-*'' commands, the same operations can be done using the following instead:
+   - Get the list: ''localcli storage vmfs snapshot list''
+   - Mount "-m": ''localcli storage vmfs mount --no-persist --volume-label''
+   - Mount "-M": ''localcli storage vmfs mount --volume-uuid''
+   - Resignature: ''localcli storage vmfs resignature --volume-label''
