BIOS Setting: Power Regulator for ProLiant

Hello!

under my HP ProLiant BL495c G5 Opteron 2384 i have four options in the BIOS-Settings under "Power Regulator for ProLiant":

- HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode

- HP Static Low Power Mode

- HP Static High Performance Mode

- OS Control Mode

What is the best setting for vSphere?

Thanks

We use HP Static High Performance mode, to avoid any throttling of CPU resources.

thanks for your quick answer. Do you know if VMware vSphere is able to use/work with the setting "OS Control"?
