I recently had a need to validate that all hosts in a specific vCenter had appropriate vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) settings. I didn’t want to change the values, I was just looking for the existing values. This short code will do just that:<\/p>\n

\r\n$myreport = @()\r\nGet-VMHost | %{\r\n\t$DataMoverHardwareAcceleratedMove = $_ | Get-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration -Name DataMover.HardwareAcceleratedMove\r\n\t$VMFS3HardwareAcceleratedLocking = $_ | Get-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration -Name VMFS3.HardwareAcceleratedLocking\r\n\t$DataMoverHardwareAcceleratedInit = $_ | Get-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration -Name DataMover.HardwareAcceleratedInit\r\n\t$myreport += new-object psobject -property @{\r\n\t\tHost = $_.Name\r\n\t\tDataMoverHardwareAcceleratedMove = [string]$DataMoverHardwareAcceleratedMove.Values\r\n\t\tVMFS3HardwareAcceleratedLocking = [string]$VMFS3HardwareAcceleratedLocking.Values\r\n\t\tDataMoverHardwareAcceleratedInit = [string]$DataMoverHardwareAcceleratedInit.Values\r\n\t}\r\n}\r\n$myreport\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The resulting output will list the setting for each option value for each host.  Note: 0 = disabled and 1 = enabled.<\/p>\n
