migrate readyNAS X-RAID2 from ESX attached to network attached

[gduncan]

I need to refactor my ReadyNAS configuration from ESX attached to network attached for leveraging a segment of the total storage capacity for solutions outside VMware that require direct NAS accessibility.  I host my production VMware instances in this current configuration.  Are there proven steps, process to reconfigure ReadyNAS to accomplish this goal?

Which model do you have?

Which firmware are you running?

How full is the NAS at the moment?

Do you have a backup of your data?

So you are using iSCSI at the moment?
