To communicate with the devices that do not support the T10 SCSI standard, your host uses a single VAAI filter and a vendor-specific VAAI plug-in. Use the esxcli command to view the hardware acceleration filter and plug-ins currently loaded into your system.

Prerequisites

Install ESXCLI. See Getting Started with ESXCLI. For troubleshooting, run esxcli commands in the ESXi Shell.

Procedure

  • Run the esxcli storage core plugin list --plugin-class=value command.
    For value, enter one of the following parameters:
    • Type VAAI to display plug-ins.
      The output of this command is similar to the following example:
      #esxcli storage core plugin list --plugin-class=VAAI
      Plugin name         Plugin class
      VMW_VAAIP_EQL       VAAI
      VMW_VAAIP_NETAPP    VAAI
      VMW_VAAIP_CX        VAAI
      
    • Type Filter to display the Filter.
      The output of this command is similar to the following example:
      esxcli storage core plugin list --plugin-class=Filter
      Plugin name  Plugin class 
      VAAI_FILTER  Filter
