Throughput is abnormally low when "network test-path" is executed with "connection-detail true"
Applies to
- SnapMirror
- ONTAP 9
Issue
- Each node has only one single InterCluster interface
- Throughput is abnormally low when "network test-path" is executed with "connection-detail true" parameter
- When using “connection-detail false”, the throughput is a few times or a dozen times higher
- Latency also varies greatly
For Example:
::*> network test-path -source-node src_node-01 -destination-cluster dest -destination-node dest_node01 -connection-detail false
Warning: This operation will generate large amount of cluster traffic and can cause temporary cluster traffic slowness.
