VMware best practices for performance

Last Updated : Jun 06, 2026 |

The following sections describe the best practices for VMware performance and features.

Considerations

  • These best practices are applicable to customer provided server infrastructure environments only.

  • These best practices should not be used for any Avaya Solutions Platform 100 Series Dell® R640 servers like ASP 110, ASP 130 as these are supplied under OEM relationship and managed differently than commercially available servers from the vendor.

  • ASP 100 Series Server configurations are engineered for specific application needs. These servers must not be updated with BIOS or firmware updates from the vendor’s web site. Use the Avaya provided updates only. Updating directly from the vendor’s web site or making changes to the BIOS settings will result in an unsupported configuration.

  • For ASP 130, use the Avaya provided ESXi updates only. Updating directly from the Dell or VMware’s web sites will result in an unsupported configuration.
