I have a ESXi 5.1 Server and a 12TB Thecus n4200eco(~5.5TB in RAID6). I want to be able to run the virtual machines from the NAS instead of the server because the server has no RAID and I don’t trust the drives in there.
Is this possible? Or is it a bad idea? And how do I achieve this if it is?
Answer
If the NAS supports NFS or iSCSI then you can certainly use it as a datastore for vSphere.
Depending on which it supports and which you want to use, the setup is slightly different. Which does it support and which do you want to use?
