Block IO Size

The DISK Attributes: BLOCKIOSIZE_LOGICAL and BLOCKIOSIZE_PHYSICAL are available options in a VM Template to improve performance for certain workloads, and both of these parameters must be defined for either to take effect.

An example of the context needed in the VM Template is seen below:

DISK=[
    BLOCKIOSIZE_LOGICAL = "4096",
    BLOCKIOSIZE_PHYSICAL = "4096",
    IMAGE = "REGRESSION",
    IMAGE_UNAME = "admin" ]

From the GUI, the VM Template can be updated to include this context as seen below:
