In this video, I will show you how to HOW TO: Add a Synology NAS providing NFS Storge to VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 7.0. I will show you the process of creating a storage pool followed by a btrfs volume, enabling NFS and Exporting the NFS volume and connecting to VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 7.0, by creating a dedicated storage network using a VMkernel portgroup for NFS traffic.

I will show you how to troubleshoot and check using simple bash tools ping and vmkping, that NFS traffic can reach the NAS.

The syntax I’m using in this video to test network communications between VMkernel portgroups and NAS (NFS), and check for jumbo frames.

ping <IP address>

vmkping -I vmkX <IP address> -s 9000

where X is a number of your VMkernel portgroup
