NFS 4.1 – Synology – VMware

January 15, 2018 By Dave

I was recently studying for my VMware 6.5 Delta Cert and realized NFS 4.1 was on the blueprint. I don’t do much (if any) NFS at customers sites – so I wanted to upgrade my lab from NFS 3 to 4.1. have a small homelab, which consists of the following gear: 2 Intel NUCs, Synology 713+ and a Iomega PX300D. I run NFS off of the Synology, mostly because I was lazy and didnt want to setup iSCSI.

To enable NFS 4.1 on the Synology, I had to update some config files.  *From Synology Support – Do this at your own risk! :

  1. Enable SSH from Control Panel |  Terminal and SNMP
  2. Connect to the Synology using your favorite SSH utility
  3. cd /usr/syno/etc/rc.sysv
  4. sudo vi S83nfsd.sh
  5. Go to line 91 (in my case) – go to “/usr/sbin/nfsd $N” and add “-V 4.1”
    1. Finished product will be: “/usr/sbin/nfsd $N -V 4.1”
  6. Save the file and Exit.
  7. Restart the NFS Service: sudo ./S83nfsd.sh restart
  8. Verify NFS 4.1 is now enabled
  9. In the vSphere Web Client: Unmount the NFS datastore & remount as NFS 4.1
  10. Disable SSH on your Synology

Complete!
