Volume Move appears stalled with very low throughput
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Volume Move
Issue
- After some time a volume move of a large volume with a high rate of data change appears have throughput drop to < 2 MBs (as seen in
volume move show) - The
Move Stateis "healthy" - The
Bytes Sentvalue continues to increase - The
Percentage Completedmay regress if additional data is changed or written at the source - There have been no
Cutovers AttemptedorTimes Cutover Hard/Soft Deferred - Example:
volume move showcommand output shows kB/s throughput and a high estimated finish time (some lines removed for brevity)
