List Hardware Acceleration Claim Rules

Each block storage device managed by a VAAI plug-in needs two claim rules. One claim rule specifies the hardware acceleration filter and another specifies the hardware acceleration plug-in for the device. You can use the esxcli commands to list the hardware acceleration filter and plug-in claim rules.

Procedure

1. To list the filter claim rules, run the esxcli --server=server_name storage core claimrule list --claimrule-class=Filter command.
   In this example, the filter claim rules specify devices that the VAAI_FILTER filter claims.

   # esxcli --server=server_name storage core claimrule list --claimrule-class=Filter
   Rule Class   Rule   Class   Type   Plugin      Matches
   Filter       65430  runtime vendor VAAI_FILTER vendor=EMC model=SYMMETRIX
   Filter       65430  file    vendor VAAI_FILTER vendor=EMC model=SYMMETRIX
   Filter       65431  runtime vendor VAAI_FILTER vendor=DGC model=*
   Filter       65431  file    vendor VAAI_FILTER vendor=DGC model=*

2. To list the VAAI plug-in claim rules, run the esxcli --server=server_name storage core claimrule list --claimrule-class=VAAI command.
   In this example, the VAAI claim rules specify devices that the VAAI plug-in claims.

   esxcli --server=server_name storage core claimrule list --claimrule-class=VAAI
   Rule Class   Rule   Class   Type    Plugin         Matches
   VAAI         65430  runtime vendor  VMW_VAAIP_SYMM vendor=EMC model=SYMMETRIX
   VAAI         65430  file    vendor  VMW_VAAIP_SYMM vendor=EMC model=SYMMETRIX
   VAAI         65431  runtime vendor  VMW_VAAIP_CX   vendor=DGC model=*
   VAAI         65431  file    vendor  VMW_VAAIP_CX   vendor=DGC model=*
