In Nitrox PX platforms, vCMP guests can't accelerate AES-GCM traffic, which might cause high CPU usage.
High CPU usage.
For those vCMP guests deployed on Nitrox PX-based platforms, and SSL cipher is configured to use AES-GCM. The following blades support the Nitrox PX and vCMP combination: VIPRION B4200, B4300, B2100, and B2150 blades.
No workaround.
Added AES-GCM hardware acceleration support for Nitrox PX-based vCMP.
