Project#3
Client : Skyera
Project Title : VAAI integration with LIO Target
Organization : Calosft Pvt Ltd
Team Size : 6
Duration : April 2013 to Sep 2013
Environment : Linux 2.6 Kernel, Windows, Centos,

4. Tools : Bugzilla and SVN checkout – testing tool used for test case preparation,
test execution results, JIRA Tool is used to log defects.
Protocols : Basic knowledge on SCSI – SPC , SBC , SAN, ISCSI
Description:
VAAI integration solutions have been widely adopted by a range of storage enterprises and they offer
significant value across a variety of practical functionality. Calsoft has seen steady growth in deployment of
VAAI and systems that integrate storage servers, storage, networking, I/O virtualization and potentially entire
storage application stacks, over the past couple of years, a result of firms realizing the significant advantages
VAAI brings to their storage servers / hardwares. Compared to traditional performance without VAAI, VAAI is
able to reduce complexity, time frame and reducing bandwidth load in storage technologies and processes
while lowering delays / latencies and increasing ability to respond to the needs of the business.
VAAI provides a specific set of tightly coupled APIs achieved at the SCSI commands level and will allow quick
and increased compute power to remain available for running virtual machines. This mean, greater VM to host
ratios without more physical resources and even larger workloads in a single VM. This also means fast
VMotions, Storage VMotions, cloning, VM deployment and more.
Functionality (VAAI) - VAAI Block Primitives
Thin Provisioning - Unmap
Full Copy - XCOPY (Extended Copy)
Block Zero - Write Same (Zero)
Hardware Assisted Locking - Atomic Test & Set (ATS)less.
Responsibilities:
