Hello! I have a problem with disk read/write via FC (NetAPP Fas 2552 and Vmware Dell R640).

I have 2 channels FC online 8gbps - connections are ok. If i Power on some Virtual Machine (Windows 2019 Server) it`s start very slowly and on working Console (start Internet Explorer etc) a long time...

What is the reason?

To storage are connected 2 other servers via FC too.

Here my Test Speed on Windows Server 2019 Virtual Machine:
