Unity AFA - Host settings for best performance

Checking to see if anyone in EMC can tell me whether there are host specific settings that have been tested yet to achieve best possible performance on Unity AFA's.


Specifically, if you look like other purpose built AFA's like XIO, there are a whole list of specific Host Side settings that need to be configured to get the best possible performance out of XIO.  Things like Queue Depth, etc.  But most of these are NOT recommended for Unity/VNX even in AFA conditions, as there are so many differences in the controller architectures, etc.

So anyway, I've looked through the Unity best practices guide for performance and availability and there is nothing in there about these items.

I'm specifically looking for best practices testing with ESXi 6.x and if possible, bare metal Windows/Linux.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, and PS, I did check the USPEED content as well, didn't see this in there.

    I was an EMC Employee but I'm not at this time, I'm with a partner, so I don't have access to the internal exchange.

    You might want to post this question to the internal "VNX Information Exchange" - I'm assuming you're an EMC employee.
