BIOS Best Practices

Hi All

Can anyone link \ advise a document outlining the best practice configuration within an ESXi Hosts BIOS for virtualisation v7 or v8 Ideally.

[Specifically around CPU Sleep-States ..? and other advanced settings]

Have some random upstream issues and wanted to check the roots were good first.

Paulk999,

While normally we would need clarification on the specific server, for the most part the only settings in the BIOS for ESXi would be Enabling Virtualization Technology as well as Disabling C-States under BIOS-Processor Settings. For most servers that is the recommended route.

Let me know if this helps.
