I just wanted to add that I did not have a good experience with VMware support regarding this issue.
I asked multiple times for the engineers to perform the test in a lab environment, but I received push back every time.
I asked on many occasions for the case to be escalated to engineering, but my requests were refused.
They were interested it one thing, and that was closing the case as quickly as possible. And in the end, that's what happened. The case was closed. I was to engage my storage vendor. And as far as I know, VMware are still unaware that this issue exists.
