Answer

  • READDIR+ workloads can be very resource intensive in ONTAP, so in some cases there could be a performance impact to FlexGroup performance
  • From an application standpoint, it would be more beneficial to utilize LOOKUP operations vs READDIR+ where appropriate
  • If you believe FlexGroup performance may be impacted, please consult the ONTAP 9 Performance Resolution Guide
