What is the effects of running vSphere ESXi 5.1 Update 1 on CX4 ?
Hi People,
Can anyone here please share your experience in your environment of using VMware ESXi 5.1 Update 1 or above with the existing EMC CX4 FLARE 30 version ?
as per the following VMWare HCL, it should be working like below:
because by reading this article from VMware: VMware KB: EMC CX and VNX Firmware and ESX requirements for vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) support it is clearly stated it's not supported.
No Events found!

CX4 doesn't support ESX5's VAAI, but you can still privision LUNs to ESX5 hosts for access. VAAI is a technology that VMware uses to offload certain disk activity/jobs to SAN storage to save Host I/O resource and improve performance. Without VAAI, you just lose some performance in some case.
