How to align VMFS on iSCSI and ESXi?

I am using a DL380 G6 on ESXi with iSCSI. Want to create VMFS with the proper alignment. Is there a document out there that explains this?

If you create VMFS from VIC, then the volumes are aligned well.

You're welcome.

There is also the question on virtual disk alignment (or aligment inside the OS).

(You can find in the link above).
