Is there any additional information about the "performance improvements" introduced in various blades??

The recommended version E88.72 already has some performance improvements.

The main problems I see on a daily basis with Harmony are two:

1- The issue of blade performance when we execute the diagnostic push operation and how to understand the result

2- The possibility of stopping the blade via the portal to be able to do some analysis on performance

Can this new version do this functionality?

Either way, you will have to submit the diagnostics to TAC if there is an issue you can't resolve on your own.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way to simply "disable a blade" short of assigning the relevant machine a different profile.

[Mitja-S3NEXT]

Just add another policy (Deployment policy -> Software deployment) where the desired blades are disabled. And then just move the desired computer(s) inside to do some analysis. This definatly the fastest way.

Thats exactly what my colleague does for one customer, it works well.
