Thanks for this post
Working very well on Proxmox (Linux debian)
I only imported only ReadyNAS_OS6_Recovery-disk002.vmdk as sata0
with "qm disk import 1100 ./ReadyNAS_OS6_Recovery-disk002.vmdk rpool-zfs"
and created a second vitual disk on sata1 to install ReadyNAS OS
Once this is done and the OS being updated to 6.6.10, i have created an updated image with
"qemu-img convert -f raw /dev/zvol/rpool/data/vm-1100-disk-0 -O raw ./ReadyNASOS-6.6.10-x86_64.img"
for future installation

Further tests on virtualized ReadyNas on Proxmox
I added an ASM1166 based PCI Board to get 6 additionnal SATA(s) ports with PCI passthrough to proxmox
I connected 4 PHYSICAL disks (HGST HTS7210) to this SATA controller card
The physical disks are fully supported in virtualized ReadyNas
Everything working as expected

All HGST physical drives wiped, virtual SDD removed,
this forced a complete reinstall
rebuilding the array with 4 disks automatically
perfect !
