This document describes the technical aspects of NetApp support and integration with VMware® vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI), as well as how to deploy and use this technology. VAAI is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) and SCSI commands that offload certain I/O-intensive tasks to NetApp® storage systems. By integrating with vStorage APIs, NetApp enables advanced storage capabilities to be accessed and executed from familiar VMware interfaces, improving manageability, performance, data mobility, and data protection.
