Support VAAI on VxRAIL with VSAN6.2?
Hi, folks. Could you please tell me whether we support VAAI(vStorage API for Array Integration) on our VxRAIL 3.5 code?
Thanks!

If your VxRail connect external iSCSI storage or NFS storage.
Each VxRail node VAAI settings are enabled by default.

VAAI are a set of APIs to enable communication between VMware vSphere ESXi hosts and storage devices across a SAN to offload work to a storage array. VxRail is powered by VSAN with provides functionality equivalent to VAAI. It doesn't require an an API because it is integrated into the ESXi kernel and run on the same hardware.

And I got from a VMware guy that VAAI isn't support for VSAN.
Thanks your kind attention!
