Unable to create Raw Device Mapping - function not implemented error

I'm using ESXi 5.1 and trying to create a RDM to a solid state drive. I've verified my device SSD name and my store name. The store is on a NAS connected via NFS.

When I run the command below from /vmfs/volumes, I get a "Failed to create virtual disk: Function not implemented (2490377)" error.

vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA_____M***SSD2______________________000125******1C9 /vmfs/volumes/VirtualDrives/PhysicalDrive.vmdk

Am I missing something? Thanks.

Just read were RDS only works on iSCSI and not NFS. So nevermind! Smiley Happy
