Do not use VMware Storage I/O Control with Ceph iSCSI GWs!

Hi,

For anyone using VMware ESXi (6.7) with Ceph iSCSI GWs (Nautilus), I thought you might benefit from our experience: I have finally identified what was causing a permanent ~500 MB/s and ~4k iops load on our cluster, specifically on one of our RBD image used as a VMware Datastore and it was Storage I/O control. Not sure whether this is a bug that could be taken care of on the ceph side (as a misinterpretation of a SCSI instruction that the ESXi would replay madly) but disabling Storage I/O Control definitely solved the problem. By disabling I mean choosing "Disable Storage I/O Control **and** statistics collection" on each Datastore.

Regards,

Frédéric.
