It would be helpful if you explained what you're try to accomplish. What do you mean by "Host IO Control" ? In ESX there is a setting called "IOPS Limit" - we recommend that you change that from the default of 1000 to 1. On the array you can set a "Host IO Limit". You can create separate Pools for different types of workload, you can configure the front-end ports to use certain ports for certain types of workload (segregate the large Read IO from the random Write IO).
There are a number of White Papers for Unity - you've listed a couple. There is a Best Practice Guide, there are Host Connectivity Guides for the different operating systems, there is On-Line Help for explaining how to setup things on the array. There are a number of White Papers available for specific applications such as Oracle, SQL, Exchange, for example. Just do a search for "Best Practices Unity" and you should see a number of articles.
