The vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) is one of the storage application programming interface (API)
sets in vSphere. VAAI is an API storage partners can leverage to enhance performance of virtual machine
(VM) management operations by delegating these operations to the storage array. With hardware offload,
ESX/ESXi hosts perform certain operations faster and consume less server CPU and memory resources,
and also storage port and storage fabric bandwidth. VAAI includes high performance and scalable VM data
path primitives.
Storage Hardware Primitives for VAAI
Full Copy or Hardware Assisted Move
Block Zeroing or Hardware Assisted Zeroing
Hardware Assisted Locking or Atomic Test and Set (ATS)
Product Features
Data Protection
Snapshots create up to 512 point-in-time pictures of data
Volume Copies create up to 128 point-in-time copies of data
Recovery is instant - revert data from any previous Snapshot or Volume Copy

Volume Copy etc. in the MSA 2040 products) a combination HW + SW support care pack must be
purchased.
HP does not provide warranty assistance for software products included with our base hardware
products. This would either be SupportPlus or SupportPlus24. The hardware warranty component
of these services is accounted for in the pricing of the SP and SP24 care packs.

HP MSA Remote Snap Software is array based software that provides remote replication on the HP
MSA 2040 Array products. HP Remote Snap is a form of asynchronous replication which consists of
replication of block-level data from a volume on a local system to a volume that may be on the
same system or on a second independent system. This second system may be co-located with the
first system or may be located at a remote site.
HP Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HP MSA SAN
