VSA performance issue with VMXNET 3 - resolved yet?
I'm about to install a new P4000 VSA - and I know from an extensive post a month or two ago, that there were demonstrated performance issues if the VSA appliance VMs were configured to use the VMXNET 3 nics. (the new version comes with 2 nics per appliance - and you can select which ones to use - the suggestion was to use the (was it vlance or flexible?) instead of VMXNET 3)
Has that been resolved? Or has anyone heard whether HP/VMware has addressed this?

Re: VSA performance issue with VMXNET 3 - resolved yet?
this is the thread I was referring to - and my question is whether there has been a resolution. I'd like to use the vmxnet 3 nics if possible - but if they are going to be horribly slow, then I will use the flexible.

Use the flexible devices for now until the issue is fixed.

Re: VSA performance issue with VMXNET 3 - resolved yet?
If you look at my benchmark thread, I found no real performance difference between the two. My advice is to use flexible unless you have a 10G network.
