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. 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.
Storage Hardware Primitives for VAAI
• Full Copy or Hardware Assisted Move
• Block Zeroing or Hardware Assisted Zeroing
• Hardware Assisted Locking or Atomic Test and Set (ATS)
Snapshot and Volume
Copy Software for the
MSA 1040
Product Features
Data Protection
• Snapshots create up to 512 point-in-time pictures of data
• Volume Copies create up to 128 point-in-time copies of data
• Recovery is instant - revert data from any previous Snapshot or Volume Copy (volume copy is
available for both linear and virtual storage with GL220 firmware or later; pre-GL220 firmware
volume copy is only available on linear storage).
• Backup 'snapped' data to disk, virtual tape, or physical tape without a backup window
• A 64 snapshot license and Volume Copy are included with all MSA 1040 models.
• Support and updates are desired for bundled software functionalities (such as 64 LTU Snap
and/or Volume Copy etc. in the MSA 1040 products) a combination HW + SW support care pack
must be purchased.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not provide warranty assistance for software products included
with our base hardware products. This would either be SupportPlus or SupportPlus24. The
hardware warranty component of these services is accounted for in the pricing of the SP and
SP24 care packs.
Data Testing
• Snap or clone data to test the performance of a software application on 'offline' production data.
• Snap or clone data to test how a software patch or enhancement will function on 'offline'
production data.
MSA 1040 Snapshot and Clone:
All MSA 1040 models come STANDARD with 64 snapshots and Volume Copy software.
512 Snapshot option is also available for additional cost.

HPE MSA Remote Snap
Software
• HPE MSA Remote Snap software is available for both linear and virtual storage with GL220
firmware or later; pre-
GL220 firmware remote snap replication is only available on linear storage
• HPE MSA Remote Snap Software is array base
d software that provides remote replication on the
HPE MSA 1040 Array products. HPE Remote Snap is a form of asynchronous replication which
consists of replication of block-level data from a volume on a local system to a volume that may
