Troubleshoot VMware-based Infrastructure Solutions

You are investigating performance problems on a VMware ESXi host running on an HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server. Initial investigation shows that VMs are competing for CPU resources. You need to plan additional investigation.

What should you check on the HPE server as a potential source of the problem?

Explanation

An HPE Gen11 workload profile applies predefined BIOS power and performance settings. For Intel Xeon Scalable systems, the Virtualization - Max Performance profile uses Static High Performance power regulation and disables processor C-states, so an unsuitable profile can reduce CPU performance available to virtual machines.
