Table 14 Possible VAAI device status values
Description Value
The array volume is hosted by a non-supported VAAI Array (such as the MSA2000 G1
or MSA2000 G2) Unknown

Supported
For ESXi 5.0: The array volume is hosted by a supported VAAI array (such as the HP
P2000 G3) and at least one of the three VAAI commands completed successfully.
The array volume is hosted by a supported VAAI array (such as the HP P2000 G3), but
all three VAAI commands did not complete successfully. Not supported
NOTE: For HP P2000 VAAI Plug-in version 2.0, the VAAI device status values of "Supported" is
displayed for each P2000 G3 storage volume, even if the HP P2000 VAAI Plug-in has not been
installed. The reason for this is because both the ESXi 5.0 storage stack and P2000 G3 MSA Array
firmware TS230 have matching VAAI primitive commands that conform to the T10 SCSI Standards
for Write Same (VAAI Block Zero) and Atomic Test and Set (VAAI Hardware Assisted Locking.)
The P2000 VAAI Plug-in for ESXi 5.0 must be installed to enable the VAAI Full Copy command.
