NFS Datastore in VMware Step by Step Guide

Mounting a Synology NFS (Network File System) datastore to VMware ESXi involves configuring your ESXi host to access storage resources on the Synology NAS using NFS protocols. This allows you to use the Synology NAS as a shared storage solution for your VMware virtualization environment. Here's a step-by-step description of the process: • Video
Remember to ensure proper network connectivity, security, and access control settings on both the Synology NAS and VMware ESXi to maintain data integrity and security. This guide assumes a general setup and might have slight variations depending on your specific versions of Synology NAS and VMware ESXi. Always refer to the official documentation for accurate and up-to-date instructions.

Super sir

[@NicolasLecuna]

Hello, thanks for the video.
But I see that everyone explains the same thing but it is not clear that the traffic with the NFS server is really going through the new virtual switch.
IN my case I have three Virtual switches with VMKernels, Manage, the second for ISCSI and the third for NFS:
Now in ISCSI I could select the switches, but in NFS I couldn't find a way to force the switch I want, since I manage a single network range.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

How do we confirm the hosts are connecting to nfs shares using the newly created vmk? Can we like sort of binding nfs traffic to the specific vmk?
