How to adjust snapshot schedules for better performance

Applies to

Description

• This guide is part of the ONTAP Data Processing latency - Resolution Guide and the ONTAP Disk utilization and latency - Resolution Guide.
• This guide provides steps to obtain better performance when snapshot schedules are consuming large amounts of CPU, Data Processing, or disk resources.
• This article assumes you have followed steps from the above articles to identify snapshots or snapshot scanners are contributing to performance.
  • Note: Using the qos statistics workload resource cpu show or qos statistics workload resource disk show gives an idea of performance, along with wafltop command output.
