Very Slow VMware Creation Times

Just purchased a Unity 600F and have it connected to our local vCenter.  Under Storage | VMware | Datastores, we launch the wizard and then follow the steps to creating a 5TB volume.  Once it is completed, it takes almost 1 hour to create the Datastore and then one by one rescan each host.  We changed the name in Unity and it once again took almost an hour to change the name and rescan all 18 hosts.

Under VNX and CX4, you would create the LUN, slap it in a Storage Group and then rescan in VMware which took all of about 10 minutes, maybe.

With the inability to create multiple LUNs at once and the slow serial rescan of hosts, it has taken 5 hours to create 5 LUNs and rename one.

Is this normal?
