Hello,
Is the 'Hardware Acceleration' colum in vSphere client a fair indication of whether this feature is being used on a host. I realize there are certain restrictions like VMFS/NFS not being able to support some hardware acceleration capabilities, but does that column in vSphere Client reflect that properly.
Also is the command "esxcli storage core device list | egrep “Display Name:| VAAI Status:" a good substitute to looking at the 'Hardware Acceleration' column in vSphere Client ?
Additionally, the fields ->
Configuration -> Software:
DataMover.HardwareAccelerateMove
DataMover.HardwareAcceleratedInit
VMFS3.HardwareAcceleratedLocking
need to be enabled on a host for a host to be able to use the feature.
if this is true, Does anyone know of any support in the vSphere API, that can help me look at if this feature is being utilized on a host ?
Gokul.
