VMWare VAAI support

Tommiiee — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:15:32 GMT

Hello,

I was wondering if there's a list somewhere that shows all HP Storage devices that support VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI). I've been looking for it for quite a while now, but I can't seem to find a page that shows me which devices are (or aren't) supported.

Does anybody here know which devices support VMware VAAI?

Thanks,

Tom

According to different sources on the internet the 3PAR Storeserv, P2000, P4000, P6000 (+EVA x400) and P9000 (XP) support this.

Hello! Thank you for your answer.

Do you happen to have links to those sources? I might need them for my report.

I have a slide that talks about our integration points with VMware across the portfolio. Feel free to send me an email with a bit more detail as to what you're looking and why and I'd be happy to reply to you more info. Note however that I am traveling starting tomorrow so might take me a few days to send it to you.

My email is hpstorageguy at hp dot com.
