First off, this little NAS is sweet! To name a few of the features:

• NFS
• iSCSI
• CIFS
• FTP
• RSYNC Server
• AFP

And the list goes on and on... Not to mention it looks inconspicuous.

So I wanted to add an NFS mount to my ESX host, to do so:

1. get logged in to your ix4-200d
2. Click on Settings
3. 
4. Click on Network Services
5. 
6. Click on NFS
7. 
8. Check the two boxes Enable NFS Service and Allow root account access
9. 
10. Click Apply
11. Next click on Shared Storage
12. Click Add
13. Enter the name of your new share and click Apply
14. 
15. Click  Add Storage on your ESX host
16. Enter the server, folder, and datastore name
17. 
18. Verify your storage is present
19. 
20. Click Next
