<div dir="ltr">Atris,<div><br></div><div>I can't speak for the Gluster project, but as I understand it, there is no .vib package to enable NFS VAAI in the builtin Gluster NFS server. The direction appears to be to phase out Gluster's built-in NFS service in favor of nfs-ganesha. In 3.8 Gluster's built-in NFS is off by default. Ganesha offers a number of nice features (like NFS 4.1 support). I'm not sure if vSphere 6 (which supports NFS 4.1) + nfs-ganesha + gluster has been tested. If a VAAI Extension Module was going to be developed, Ganesha is the best place to do it at this time. </div><div><br></div><div>This document outlines what is required from VMware to create such a plugin:</div><div><a href="https://developercenter.vmware.com/programs/vaai-nas">https://developercenter.vmware.com/programs/vaai-nas</a><br></div><div><a href="https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/d8906187-e988-474f-87af-2fdc68917add/306ea451-7619-4463-ab8f-2c52e1208a9e/VAAINAS%20Program%20Guide%20Oct2015.pdf">https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/d8906187-e988-474f-87af-2fdc68917add/306ea451-7619-4463-ab8f-2c52e1208a9e/VAAINAS%20Program%20Guide%20Oct2015.pdf</a></div><div><a href="http://www.punchingclouds.com/2015/02/19/vsphere-virtual-volumes-interoperability-vaai-apis-vs-vvols/">http://www.punchingclouds.com/2015/02/19/vsphere-virtual-volumes-interoperability-vaai-apis-vs-vvols/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>I suspect that if this feature will be added, it would be added to nfs-ganesha and not built-in NFS. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,</div><div><br></div><div>Ben</div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 14, 2016 at 7:37 AM, atris adam <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:atris.adam@gmail.com" target="_blank">atris.adam@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class=""><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><br><br><div dir="ltr">I want to use glusterfs as a storage for ESXI , I have mount it via NFS.
