VAAI support with SAN/iQ 9.0 on P4000
Posted on April 30th, 2011 by Bert Zefat
SAN/iQ vor P4000 has now support fot VMware VAAI vStorage offloads â Full copy, Block Zeroing, and Hardware Assisted Locking for faster VM deployment and less load on ESX server.
Meaning more VM’s can be run on the same environment. Till SAN/iQ 8.1 is was recommended to a total of 16 VM’s, now up t 50 VM’s should be supported. I have not been able to test this theorie, but this is stated by HP at this moment.
To upgrade to SAN/iQ 9.0 your system should run SAN/iQ 8.1.
