  • Data ONTAP provides native support for the VAAI operations on SAN storage:

  • To add support for some VAAI operations, install the Netapp NFS Plug-in for VMware VAAI on the ESXi host(s).
  • Once the plugin is installed, Data ONTAP can be configured to support the VAAI operations on NFS storage:
