• Full copy: Can significantly speed up the process of deploying virtual machines.
Implemented via the xcopy SCSI command.
• Block zero: May speed up bulk zeroing of a disk. Also called copy same.
• Hardware-assisted locking: Implements a LUN locking mechanism that is
more efficient in the clustered host environment. Also called Atomic Test and
Set. Implemented using the Compare and Swap SCSI command.
Notice:
Failure to disable an unsupported VAAI command may lead to data
corruption, production data being unavailable to ESX hosts, degraded
performance, or switch reboot.
RecoverPoint splitters support each VAAI command at one of the following levels:
• Unsupported. If the RecoverPoint splitter does not support a particular VAAI
command, it must be disabled on all ESX servers. Failure to disable an
unsupported VAAI command may lead to data corruption, production data being
unavailable to ESX hosts, degraded performance, or switch reboot.
• Rejected. When RecoverPoint blocks or rejects the use of a VAAI command,
VMware automatically immediately reverts to legacy behavior, with no risk to data
or performance.
• Supported. RecoverPoint supports the VAAI command and its functionality.
