ESX 5.5 on Mac Pro: HDD won't mount on OS X 10.10 VM

We currently are running ESX 5.5 and have a Mac Pro host that has an external USB drive attached to it. I am able to add this device to an OS X VM running 10.10 and it shows up in the OS X System information application under USB devices, but the drive itself never mounts. It is a standard Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatted disk. Any ideas why the VM cannot access it?

We need to access to the drive so we can "P2V" it using migration assistant.

Anyone have any ideas? Would being on ESX 6.x potentially fix this issue?
