How to Enable VMware VAAI and Install NetApp Plugin on ESXi

 The NetApp Plug-in for VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) is a software library that integrates the VMware Virtual Disk Libraries that are installed on the ESXi host. The VMware VAAI package enables the offloading of certain tasks from the physical hosts to the storage array.


  1. Download the VAAI plugin from netapp software download page 

    downloaded vb.zip file and copied to esxi server
    Install as :
    [root@esxi:/tmp] esxcli software vib install -d                                      /tmp/NetAppNasPlugin.v23.zip
     Installation Result
      Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be              rebooted for the changes to be effective.
     Reboot Required: true
     VIBs Installed: NetApp_bootbank_NetAppNasPlugin_1.1.2-3
     VIBs Removed:

  2.reboot esxi
  3.verify VAAI plugin installed with

    [root@esxi:~]  esxcli software vib list | more
Name                           Version                            Vendor  Acceptance Level  Install Date

 4.Enable ONTAP for VAAI plugin


Ontap_cluster::> vserver nfs modify -vserver vs0 -vstorage enabled

verify with:
Ontap_cluster::> vserver nfs show -vserver vs0 -vstorage enabled

5.Enable policy rules on ontap

Ontap_cluster::> vserver export-policy rule modify -vserver vs1 -policyname mypolicy -ruleindex 1 -protocol nfs
Ontap_cluster::>


6.Verify esxi hardware acceleration

#  esxcfg-advcfg -s 1 /DataMover/HardwareAcceleratedMove
Value of HardwareAcceleratedMove is 1

# esxcfg-advcfg -s 1 /DataMover/HardwareAcceleratedInit
Value of HardwareAcceleratedInit is 1

7.Verify the Datastore having VAAI enabled

  # vmkfstools -P -h /vmfs/volumes/NFSDS
