Is there a way of mounting a remote Windows shared volume using ESXCLI? (ESXi 5.1)
I tried this (the volume is shared as "swlib" on the Windows server):
esxcli storage nfs add --host=192.168.123.12 --share=swlib --volume-name=SWLIB
but keep getting this result:
Sysinfo error on operation returned status : Unable to connect to NFS server.
Any tips on how to do this?
Thanks.
the article mentioned by memaad shows how to enable NFS services on Windows and mount on ESXi hosts.
I have created a small video in the past to mount the NFS share which is running on Windows to ESXi. You can check that here

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that the Windows server is 2008 R2, which does not support Windows Services for Unix, as far as I can tell.
Is there a way to share the folder from 2008 server?
