8. Enter the esxcfg-scsidevs -u command to list the NAA IDs with their primary name and use the vml number for the input
parameter:
esxcfg-scsidevs -u |grep
vml.0200010000600c0ff000db41bae7458151010000004d5341203230

9. Save the RDM disk information to a file.
10. Repeat Steps 8 and 9 for additional VMs and save all the disk information to a file for use after the controller upgrade.
Deactivating the MSA VAAI Plug-in and removing the claimrules before upgrading the controllers
Follow these steps to deactivate the VAAI Plug-in:
1. Put the ESX server into maintenance mode for the host with the VAAI Plug-in installed.
2. Remove the VAAI Plug-in by running the following command from the ESX/ESXi console:
esxcli software vib remove -n vmware-esx-hp_vaaip_p2000
3. Enter the esxcli storage core claimrule list command to confirm the claimrule numbers for the MSA VAAI Plug-in.
Rule numbers are 5001, 5002, 5003, and 5004.
esxcli storage core claimrule list --claimrule-class=Filter
# RuleClass Rule Class Type Plug-in Matches
# ---------- ----- ------- ------ ----------- ---------------------------------------
-----------
# Filter 5001 file vendor VAAI_FILTER vendor=HP model=P2000 G3 Fibre Channel
# Filter 5002 file vendor VAAI_FILTER vendor=HP model=P2000 G3 Fibre
Channel/iSCSI
# Filter 5003 file vendor VAAI_FILTER vendor=HP model=P2000 G3 iSCSI
# Filter 5004 file vendor VAAI_FILTER vendor=HP model=P2000 G3 SAS
4. Deactivate all claimrules for the VAAI Plug- , enter the esxcli storage core
claimrule remove command:
esxcli storage core claimrule remove -r 5001 --claimrule-class=Filter
esxcli storage core claimrule remove -r 5001 --claimrule-class=VAAI
5. Enter the esxcli storage core claimrule load command to load the new rules:
esxcli storage core claimrule run --claimrule-class=Filter
6. Enter the esxcli storage core claimrule list command to confirm that the claimrules of the MSA VAAI Plug-in are
deleted:
esxcli storage core claimrule list --claimrule-class=all
The response should no longer include filter rules for P2000 models.
7. Shut down all VMs and the ESX/ESXi servers in preparation for the controller upgrade.
8. Proceed to the Upgrading to the HPE MSA 1040 or HPE MSA 2040/2042 section of this white paper to upgrade the controllers.
