The two steps that the cloud administrator should complete on I/O-intensive workloads to ensure
the best performance possible are to configure the VMware Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) adapter and to
ensure that the VMware hardware version is 7 or later. The PVSCSI adapter provides improved
performance and scalability compared to the LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller. Additionally, the
hardware version should be 7 or later to ensure that the virtual machine is able to take advantage of
the latest features and enhancements. Enabling the memory hot-add feature and configuring a
maximum of two CPU cores per socket will not improve the performance of I/O-intensive workloads.

VMware Cloud on AWS also includes a paravirtualized SCSI storage adapter, PVSCSI (also called
VMware Paravirtual). The PVSCSI adapter offers a significant reduction in CPU utilization as well as
potentially increased throughput compared to the default virtual storage adapters, and is thus the
best choice for environments with very I/O-intensive guest applications. In order to use PVSCSI,
virtual machine must be using virtual hardware version 7 .or later
