Atris, 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.
This document outlines what is required from VMware to create such a plugin: https://developercenter.vmware.com/programs/vaai-nas https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/d8906187-e988-474f-87af-2fdc68917add/306ea451-7619-4463-ab8f-2c52e1208a9e/VAAINAS%20Program%20Guide%20Oct2015.pdf http://www.punchingclouds.com/2015/02/19/vsphere-virtual-volumes-interoperability-vaai-apis-vs-vvols/ I suspect that if this feature will be added, it would be added to nfs-ganesha and not built-in NFS. Hope this helps, Ben On Tue, Jun 14, 2016 at 7:37 AM, atris adam <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I want to use glusterfs as a storage for ESXI , I have mount it via NFS.
