Performance Blocksize Nimble/Alletra und VMware vSphere7x

Hello, in the early days of Nimble and VMware V6-/V7, HPE stated that the blocksize for the volume must be created with the performance policy ESX5 (Virtual Machine volume template) and formatted with 8K in Windows Server 2019/2022 have to be. This would be an average for the VM's for File and SQL Server. Is that still the case today? What is the best practice for a VMware infrastructure (V7x) with Windows Server?

Thanks!

Best regards

Hi Werner

Hope you are doing well.

Use the performance policy matching the application that will utilize the volumes attached to the VM through the in-guest iSCSI initiator.

For instance, if Exchange 2010 is being set up, use the 'Exchange 2010' performance policy.

Hope this helps.!!

Regards
Mahesh
