READYDATA 5200 / NEXENTA and NO VAAI Support???
Can Anybody Explain to me how it can be that the ReadyDATA 5200 which is based on Nexenta does not support VAAI?? Its based on NExenta and that supports VAAI from ESXi 5 and later from Release 3.1....

I wouldn't be that surprised. I manage 3240/3250 NetApp filers (costing around $250K with disk shelves) that really don't work with VAAI via NFS... even with NetApp's plugin loaded on our ESXi 5.0.2 hosts.
From my tests with VAAI enabled/disabled via iSCSI or FCP... it didn't make much difference. There are certainly videos out there showing drastic host CPU and copy time reduction, though.
