Updated white paper on VAAI/Symmetrix with new XCOPY & UNMAP results
I’ve updated our (cody.hosterman@emc.com and drew.tonnesen@emc.com) white paper, Using VMware vSphere Storage APIs for Array Integration with EMC Symmetrix, and published it to EMC.com:
http://www.emc.com/collateral/hardware/white-papers/h8115-vmware-vstorage-vmax-wp.pdf
Highlights include:
- Graphical results from UNMAP (dead space reclamation) testing – TF/Clone, SRDF etc.
- Expanded Full Copy (XCOPY) graphical results using the newly recommended larger transfer size of 16 MB
- Changes for vSphere 5.1 and the latest Enginuity release 5876.159
The new recommended change to the Full Copy transfer size makes this a MUST READ for Symmetrix customers using VMware to greatly improve performance of Full Copy tasks.
