Vmware vs FreeNAS vs Lacie Ethernet Disk Mini

$

Hi

 

I have installed a small VMware ESX Lab in home.

 

I have a VMware Desktop with:

 

AMD Athlon  64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5200+

3Gb Memory

Hard Disk IDE 60Gb

 

This is my VMware ESX Server. The Vmware is installed and working. I have another desktop with Virtual Center installed. All is ok.

 

But my problem is that i do not have SCSI Discs(only IDE and SATA), or a Storage to hold the VMs. I have a Lacie Ethernet Disk Mini 500Gb that i want to use for this. But i know that this Lacie does not support NFS only SMB, AFP, HTTP, FTP, UPnP. So to bypass this, i have installed another server with the FreeNAS v0.686, that i can use for this.

 

Questions:

 

So can i create a shared storage in the FreeNAS using my Lacie, and add on my ESX to hold de VMs? If so, how?

Can i enable ISCSI on the FreeNAS and then i can use on the ESX? If so, how?

 

This is i think what i can have to use the hardware that i have. But can i use the hardware that i have to work another solution? If yes, please can anyone explain how?

 

Thank for the help
