Data Processing Latency on AFF from workload which switches volumes rapidly
Applies to
- AFF (can affect FAS, but less likely to be noticed)
- ONTAP 9
- Environment with large amounts of LUNs or other virtual disks (well over 16)
Issue
- High CPU Data Latency above 1 ms
- The workloads use RAID striping to different LUNs or virtual disks in ONTAP, striping across the many volumes
- ONTAP only has 16 affinities maximum, and the amount of volumes doing work is larger
