Poor NDMP backup performance when preferred interface is on e0M
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- NDMP
Issue
- NDMP control or data connections are using the e0M management port
- In most cases this results in poor NDMP backup performance
- In rare cases, using e0M for data operations (including NDMP) can result in an environment shutdown as described in Bug 1286273
