@istaustria,

There are two separate documents I can point you to, that may answer the questions you have:

E-Series/VMware Express Guide - https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2503711
E-Series/VMware Power Guide - https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2439714

Hope that helps!
