Environment
VMware NSX for vSphere 6.4.x
VMware NSX for vSphere 6.3.x
VMware NSX for vSphere 6.3.x
Cause
The cause for this latency increase has been identified to be the disabling of a feature (queue pairing) on the physical NIC’s during the NSX upgrade.
Resolution
To resolve this issue it’s recommended that we enable NIOC feature on the VDS tied to your SAN storage.
Make sure that we only enable NetIOC on DVS with vmnics where infrastructure traffic like (SAN (iSCSI), Management, vSAN, vMotion...) etc are running.
