For some time, we have had performance problems with one database server. Under higher load, we are seeing latency going up and queueing happening. We tweaked with queues in Guest OS and ESXi with no results. Esxtop showed high KAVG/cmd.
According to qedf release notes there is a performance related fix in driver version 2.2.53.0. My guess is if you running a driver version below 2.2.53.0 you are most likely affected by this performance issue.
Simple PowerShell script to check the versions of the drivers associated with the QLogic FastLinQ QL41xxx Series 10/25 GbE Controller adapter. You can download it from GitHub -> -scripts/blob/main/get-qlogic-fastlinq-vib-versions.ps1
