Enable or disable VAAI
The set storageArray vaaiEnabled command turns on or turns off VMware vStorage API Array Architecture (VAAI) for a storage array.
Supported Arrays
This command applies to an individual DE2000H, DE4000H, DE4000F, DE6000H, or DE6000F storage array.
Roles
To execute this command on an storage array, you must have the Storage Admin role.
Context
The storage array comes with VAAI turned on. Use this command to turn off VAAI if you do not want to run VAAI, or if VAAI is causing issues with the storage array. The only storage array that is affected is the storage array on which the command is run.
Syntax
set storageArray vaaiEnabled=(TRUE | FALSE)
Parameter
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| vaaiEnabled | The setting to turn on or turn off VAAI. To turn on VAAI set this parameter to TRUE . To turn off VAAI set this parameter to FALSE . The default setting is that VAAI is turned on. |
Notes
Note
VAAI enables some storage tasks to be offloaded from the server hardware to a storage array. Offloading the storage tasks to a storage array increases host performance by reducing the tasks the host must perform.
Note
View the VAAI setting using the show storageArray odxSetting name.
