CONFIGURING BACKBLAZE SYNOLOGY UPDATE

Note: The above steps was completed using DSM version 5.1-5022 Update 1, your steps may vary if running a different version. Next we need to add the datastore to the ESXi host. You will want to repeat Steps 3 – 6 for each additional NFS share you wish to create. That completes the steps on the Synology side of things.

After you have clicked on “Ok” from the step above you will be taken back to the “Edit Shared Folder (FOLDER NAME)”, you can either click on “Create” to add permissions for another ESXi host if needed or click on “Ok” if not, before clicking on “Ok” to close the window be sure to make note of the “ Mount Path“.

Then change to the “NFS Permission” and click on Create and type the hostname or IP address of your ESXi host, then click Ok.

Once your folder has been created, go to the “Permissions” tab and change all users except your admin account to have “ No Access“.A name is the only required step, but I like to give it a description and hide the shared folder from my network places as well as hide files from users without permission. From the Synology control panel to go “Shared Folder”.Expand NFS Services and check “Enable NFS” and click on Apply. NFS is disabled by default so we need to enable it first.Log into the Synology DiskStation and go to: Control Panel > File Services – located under “File Sharing”.How I setup NFS on the Synology for my ESXi homelab is pretty simple as well. In fact I’ve been very happy with my DS412+ in a RAID 10 setup. It was strictly from reading other peoples findings that I started with NFS and have continued to use NFS without any issue. First the why, when I purchased my Synology DS412+ about two years I recall seeing several people stating NFS was out performing iSCSI ( like this post) on the Synology. I’ve been asked several times how and why I setup my home lab to use NFS on my Synology NAS and thought a post detailing the steps would be best.
