Instructions
VPLEX does not support XCOPY across independent VPLEX Clusters.
VPLEX would support XCOPY across two clusters but only in a Metro configuration.
To resolve this issue:
- Disable XCOPY on affected storage views on VPLEX.
- Enable accelerated locking on ESXi hosts.
Workaround:
- On the affected storage-views, disable XCOPY using the following commands.
- Change directory (
cd) to the affected storage-views and run the following command:
- Change directory (
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-id/exports/storage-views/STORAGE-VIEW-NAME> set xcopy-enabled false
The storage-view should now have XCOPY disabled:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-id/exports/storage-views/STORAGE-VIEW-NAME> ll

- On the affected ESXi hosts, enable accelerated locking but disable accelerated move (XCOPY).
Rather than disabling everything in VMware vStorage API Array Integration (VAAI), users can be selective and disable the unsupported primitive on the ESXi hosts.
To be more specific on the changes:
HardwareAcceleratedLocking = OK; enable (atomic test and set)
HardwareAcceleratedMove = Not OK; leave disabled (clone blocks, full copy, xcopy)
HardwareAcceleratedInit = OK; enable (zero blocks, write same)Produse afectate
