For my on-prem folks. Is anyone doing full VM Encryption (specifically with W11 guests)?

Yes, VMware with external arrays that are encrypted. In vCenter, not using encryption.

That's how we were, encrypted volumes at the SAN (Nimble/Alletra AF 6030). We're giving VM Encryption at the vSphere level and are curious about possible i/o tax impacting performance. Typical metrics that would be pointing to i/o starvation (vSphere storage latency, queue depth in guest, SAN level volume latency) all look good...but it definitely "feels" like i/o starvation.

On the compute side we are HPe Synergy. It took forever but HPe finally admitted their CNA firmware for ESXi had a bug. Win11 exposed it when LLDP Protocol was left active on the networking adapter.
