Thanks for the info. EMC support is also stumped. For a Windows Physical server it needs to be 4k blocks as per EMC documentation and only VMWARE uses 512.
In this type of cases, it is good to have the EMCreports to see what is happening behind the scenes. Having said that, because the migration involves XtremIO, make sure that the block size is 512bytes for those devices.

We found an issue with the documentation. The 512B is the correct way which resolved it. EMC will be fixing the document.
