I have an array with very high latency mostly on the reads. It's affecting performance on our VMs. Its 8TB, has solid state drives, iSCSI and has 4, 2TB volumes attached as datastores to vCenter 6.7.  I'm not sure where to begin.  This is not normal and has recently been discovered.

I recently had to upgrade my PS6210's and all of them had critical battery messages. I ordered 6 new batteries and got them replaced. Apparently they were not all seated well enough and some did not charge. Eventually I managed to get all 6 charged and all came up with a status of Good. We have bee
