Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • CIFS/SMB
  • BranchCache

Issue

  • CPU utilization is high
  • HOST OS is the busiest CPU domain domain
    Example:

     cluster::> set diag
cluster::*> node run cluster-2a sysstat -c 20 -M 1

  • Hashd is consuming the CPU host domain
    Example:

    cluster::> set advanced
    cluster::*> node run -node cluster-2a ps -z

    Wait for 1 minute
    cluster::*> node run -node cluster-2a ps
    Process statistics over 58.471 seconds...
