    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks Alistar for your fast reply.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You are saying in other words to create a vm on local datastore with Unix/Linux OS and using it as a NFS server and share the local storage so it can be &lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;accessible from the network&lt;/SPAN&gt;?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If not, can you explain more about "&lt;EM&gt;mount the VMFS via NFS on a Unix/Linux system quite easily"&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Best regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Pedro Amorim&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a HP Proliant DL380 Gen9 with ESXI 5.5 update 3 with NetApp attached for the VMs. All working well and I want to use the free local SSD storage from the ESXI server to map as a network drive in other server (Windows Server).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There is a way how to share to the network that local storage? I could not find any thing about that on internet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Wish you all a good weekend.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Best regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Pedro Amorim&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;you can mount the VMFS via NFS on a Unix/Linux system quite easily - for Windows, try this walkthrough at: &lt;A href="http://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/windows/storage-file-systems/connect-windows-server-2012-r2-nfs-shares/" title="http://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/windows/storage-file-systems/connect-windows-server-2012-r2-nfs-shares/"&gt;http://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/windows/storage-file-systems/connect-windows-server-2012-r2-nfs-shares/&lt;/A&gt;‌ with the mountpoint being /vmfs/volumes/pt-092vh01_local/ connecting as a highest privileged user (try root at first to test it out)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
