Issue/Introduction

Latency sensitive workloads may benefit from the vSphere setting "latency sensitivity" which is applied at the VM level.
It is not enabled by default on an NSX Edge VM but it is supported to configure this setting.

Resolution

  1. Connect to the vSphere client.
  2. Navigate to the Edge VM in the inventory.
  3. Click Actions.
  4. Click Edit Settings.
  5. On the VM Options tab, click Advanced.
  6. From the Latency Sensitivity drop-down menu, change the value from Normal to High.

Additional Information

CPU usage of 100% and ready time at 0% is expected in vCenter \ vROPs performance charts when Edge VM latency sensitivity is set to high.
