Issue

  • High latencies reported against a SolidFire storage volume can be observed in different ways
  • If you are using VMware, the message "performance has deteriorated" will be observed in Monitor > Events:

  • In SolidFire Active IQ (AIQ) under Volumes > Active Volumes > Actions > View Details > Latency you will observe higher than expected latency values:

NetApp Element software

  • In the Element UI under Reporting > Volume Performance you will observe higher than expected latency values:

NetApp SolidFire

  • You will also notice during high latency that the throughput is hitting its highest peak based on the Max QoS set. Below example shows QoS Max of 15,000 IOPS with a max throughput of 100 MB/sec, but when you look on the overall cluster performance is relatively very low:

NetApp HCI

  • Cluster overall performance shows barely hitting 5%
