  • ONTAP 9
  • Cluster Network
  • Volume Move

Answer

No, it’s not absolute.
  • The volume move traffic runs on the cluster network. 
  • Adding extra ports to the cluster network won’t increase transfer speed unless the network is already hitting a bottleneck.
  • The speed of volume move operations is based on several factors, including system workload, latency, and the amount of data being transferred.
