Why each option
To disable most hardware power management features on an ESXi 6.x host for maximum performance, an administrator should select the 'High Performance' Host Power Management Policy.
The 'High Performance' power management policy is designed to maximize CPU performance by disabling most hardware power-saving features, such as CPU C-states and P-states. This ensures that the CPU cores consistently run at their highest frequency, providing the best possible performance at the expense of increased power consumption.
The 'Balanced' policy attempts to balance performance and power consumption, enabling some power-saving features rather than disabling most of them.
The 'Low Power' policy prioritizes energy efficiency over performance, aggressively enabling hardware power management features to reduce power consumption.
There is no standard 'Disabled' power management policy option in ESXi specifically for hardware power management features; 'High Performance' serves this purpose.
