The alignment analysis works on physical servers or virtual guests.</P><P></P><P>One limitation is Balance does not yet understand 'Optimized datastores' created by VSC. Balance will continue to mark these LUNs as misaligned, even though they are not, relative to the back end storage. This will be corrected in a future release.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:34:11 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Active-IQ-Unified-Manager-Discussions/Balance-iSCSI-LUN-misalignment/m-p/4050#M896 plauterb 2013-07-18T03:34:11Z
