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)
