Step 1: Enable “NFS” service

The first thing to do is to enable the “NFS” service on the Diskstation. To do this, I go to the “Control Panel” > “File Services” setting and click on “Enable NFS”.

Then I click on “Shared folder” and select a directory.

Step 2: Mount directories in ESXi

In ESXi I click on “Storage” > “New Datastore” and enter my data there.

Ready

Now the memory can be used.

For testing, I installed a DOS installation and an old accounting software over this mount point.
