Hi
I want an information about the specification of VAAI.
I am doing the test of VAAI like below.
Assign three Datastores(ds1,ds2,ds3) to the esx server, and repeat Storage Vmotion.
First I moved the data from ds1 to ds2.
After finish the first Storage Vmotion, then moved the same data to ds2 to ds3.
During Storage Vmotion, I was checking esxtop.
At the first Storage Vmotion, VAAI was worked.
But the secong Storage Vmotion, VAAI didn't work.
*I knew that If VAAI works, data copy works in background.
So I was also checking the status of Backend Director of VMAX.
If I did the second Storage Vmotion after the copy of the first Storage Vmotion is finished, VAAI worked well.
I want to know is this the specification of VAAI?
And If there is a document about this specification, I want to get it.
Environment is like below.
OS : ESXi 5.1.0
Storage : VMAX SE
Thanks.
