    Welcome to the Community,

    in order to help, it's necessary to know your setup, so please provide some details.

    Am I right in assuming that it is block storage?

    • which storage system (model, firmware) is in use?
    • how are the LUNs configured (thin, thick)?
    • which ESXi version/build do you use?
    • which VMFS version do you use for the datastores (VMFS5, or VMFS6)?

    this is more a Dell/EMC question isn't it? You should probably ask it here: https://community.emc.com
