As I'm reading about the recommended settings other companies recommend when using Round Robin multi-pathing in VMware, they are saying to change the IOP limit for changing paths from 1000 to 1. Would you recommend this as well?

Greetings,
MPIO policy depends on the networking and storage you have. Say, if networking is not a bottleneck in your setup Round Robin is a great choice. We set i/o to switch paths to 1 with the rescan script. Please see an appropriate installation guide for more details
