VPLEX Metro SIOC

[vSohill]

Hi,

There is a KB and article on Yellow Bricks about VPLEX and Sotrage IO control. It's meanteaned that Storage IO control is not supported. It's looks a KB for vSphere 5.5 is it valid for vSphere 6.5 ?

Is there a reason for SIOC not supported ?

Thank you

there reason is that with VPLEX it is impossible for SIOC to determine what is causing the latency, as a result it could be falsely throttling workloads. Even with 6.5 it is not supported as stated here: https://storagehub.vmware.com/#!/vsphere-storage/vmware-vsphere-r-metro-storage-cluster-recommended-...
