ShareSpace with VMware ESX - NFS Mount version 3 over TCP

Has anyone been successful in using this device with VMware ESX as a NFS target? I’ve done all the config to set up the NFS share (“myshare”) and edited the exports file like below:

/nfs/Public *(ro,all_squash,sync,insecure,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
/nfs/Download *(ro,all_squash,sync,insecure,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
/nfs/myshare *(rw,no_root_squash,sync,insecure,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)

Unfortunately, when I use either the GUI or shell command in ESX to mount the target, I get the following error in the ESX logs:

NFS: 149: Command: (mount) Server: (192.168.xxx.yyy) IP: (192.168.xxx.yyy) Path: (/nfs/myshare) Label: (datastore-nas) Options: (None)
WARNING: NFS: 918: Server (192.168.xxx.yyy) does not support Mount Program (100005) Version (3) Protocol (TCP)
NFS: 171: NFS mount 192.168.xxx.yyy:/nfs/myshare status: The NFS server does not support MOUNT version 3 over TCP

Can anyone confirm that the WD ShareSpace supports “NFS Mount version 3 over TCP”? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Have you been able to complete the configuration for your WD ShareSpace?
