To achieve optimal storage performance, set the following Linux kernel settings in the SAP HANA VM:
transparent_hugepage=never
numa_balancing=disabled
elevator=noop
vmw_pvscsi.cmd_per_lun=254 (not required with vSphere/vSAN 8 and later)
vmw_pvscsi.ring_pages=32 (not required with vSphere/vSAN 8 and later)
In a SUSE Linux VM, you can set these parameters using yast2 and the System Bootloader settings for the kernel parameters. For more information, see the VMware Knowledge Base article KB2053145: Large-scale workloads with intensive I/O patterns might require queue depths significantly greater than Paravirtual SCSI default values.
