vStorage API for Array
Integration (VAAI)
The vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) is one of the storage application programming
interface (API) sets in vSphere 4.1. VAAI is an API storage partners can leverage to enhance
performance of virtual machine (VM) management operations by delegating these operations to the
storage array. With hardware offload, ESX/ESXi hosts perform certain operations faster and
consume less server CPU and memory resources, and also storage port and storage fabric
bandwidth. VAAI includes high performance and scalable VM data path primitives. HP introduced
VAAI support for HP MSA P2000 Storage array products starting with the T230 firmware release.
Storage Hardware Primitives for VAAI
In the VMware vSphere 4.1 release, the HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 MSA Array Systems offload
capabilities support the following three primitives:
Full Copy or Hardware Assisted Move
Block Zeroing or Hardware Assisted Zeroing
Hardware Assisted Locking or Atomic Test and Set (ATS)
HP Storage
