Hello
I use FreeNAS 9.3 and it has CTL as the default ISCSI target. From what i read and tested, VMWare VAAI seems to be supported:
~# esxcli storage core device vaai status get
t10.FreeBSD_iSCSI_Disk______000c29b4a355000_________________
VAAI Plugin Name:
ATS Status: supported
Clone Status: supported
Zero Status: supported
Delete Status: supported
From this VMware KB (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/mi...nguage=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1021976) i know that the "clone" feature can bes used to offlad cloning operations of VMs to the array (here the FreeNAS box).
-array-offloaded cloning between seperate ISCSI targets is not supported
-array-offloaded cloning in one datastore on one ISCSI target is supported
But what about this?
-array-offloaded cloning between 2 datastores which reside on one ISCSI target (2 zVols in the same ZFS pool)
-array-offloaded cloning between 2 datastores which reside on one ISCSI target (2 zVols each one in a seperate ZFS pool)
Cheers Thomy
