Re: ReadyNAS NV+ and VMWARE ESX NFS Share
Under Security > User & Group Accounts, take a look at the "Manage Users" drop-down box and select "Preferences". Enable the "Export home shares over NFS" option.

Re: ReadyNAS NV+ and VMWARE ESX NFS Share
I have that setting in place. I think I am trying to a) either connect to the home share incorrectly or b) there is some permission problem. Normally I connect to the share using my windows machine by mapping to //nasbox/username. Should I be using some other path? Once I connect I get prompted for a username and pw. I am wondering if ESX can't handle authentication? Thanks for the help.

Re: ReadyNAS NV+ and VMWARE ESX NFS Share
ESX should be able to handle authentication. I guess the draw back of using home shares is that you can't set the ESX host as a root-privilege enabled host. I don't know if this is important for ESX or not.

Re: ReadyNAS NV+ and VMWARE ESX NFS Share
Hmm, the share i set up that works, doen't have root priv set. I have default access set to read/write. I guess that means anyone can connect to the share. Maybe that is the essence of the problem; the wide open share works but the home share doesn't work that requires the auth. I created the open share to test. Does root priv give complete access to whatever host ip you put in that field? So, does anyone know how to get esx to pass authentication? I didn't see anythink in the add storage window.

Re: ReadyNAS NV+ and VMWARE ESX NFS Share
Amd the solution to the problem is..
the mount you sepcify on the esx server ...
when you add the mount make sure the mount directory is /c/mountname
where mountname is the name you gave the share as per the guide earlier 🙂
this certainly confused me as we normally mount nfs from the esx and something like
/mnt/mountname
anyways all sorted now
hope this helps someone 🙂

Re: ReadyNAS NV+ and VMWARE ESX NFS Share
There are instructions for setting up ESXi to connect to a NFS share on the ReadyNAS here: http://www.readynas.com/?p=3030
Though the NV+ is not certified for use with ESXi it should work with it over NFS. Faster ReadyNAS models will give better performance. In a business environment it's recommended to use a business ReadyNAS model e.g. ReadyNAS Pro Series device or one of the rackmount devices (1500, 2100, 3200, 3100 and 4200).

It is quite frustrating that JabbaTheHut as deleted all the old useful content on ReadyNAS.com.
