After you have created at least one volume on the ReadyDATA, you can create data sets. These are logical storage  
containers that can be purposed as NAS shares or SAN LUNs. For this app note we will create an NFS data set to be  
used as the VMware datastore. We recommend using NFS over iSCSI for VMware due to ease of ongoing management  
and deployment flexibility. 

First, go to the 

Shares page and click on the “+” sign on your volume.

You will now see a New Share window. Enter in the Name, Description, and Protection settings for this data set. For this 
example we will name our data set 

NFS-VMware-01. Now check the NFS box and click Create. 

Note: If you have not enabled the NFS service on the ReadyDATA you will see a warning icon next to the NFS checkbox as 

shown in the screenshot below. We will enable the service in the next step.

As a reminder, ReadyDATA features 

Continuous Protection via unlimited snapshots that should be utilized as an essential 

added layer of protection for your data. These are block level snapshots that will track changes to your data continuously. 
If you happen to accidentally delete a file or multiple files or folders, this feature can help you recover your data within a 
matter of seconds.
