ESX/ESXi 4.0 GA - 4.0 Ux
NOTE:
•Though ESX 4.0 GA - 4.0 Ux supports custom SATP rules, the
•ESX 4.0 GA - 4.0 Ux has a known issue wherein no attempt should be made to change iops from its default value of 1000 (iops = 1000). If the iops value is changed, upon the next host reboot, an invalid value for iops is picked up and iops are then unpredictable.
•If the custom rule is not created for ALUA, 3PARdata VV’s are claimed by the
VMW_SATP_DEFAULT_AA SATP rule even though the array persona is 11/VMware (ALUA compliant array port presentation).
