Information Subject to Change
Note: If a customer has met or is near the VA performance threshold, it is possible that high I/O demand
(at 90% or greater of the VA threshold) may cause a performance degradation when running in a load-
balancing configuration. Load balancing is not recommended for VA configurations that consistently
require over 90% of the overall VA performance bandwidth!
