Excessive Deduplication jobs may decrease available IOPS and increase latency in ONTAP systems
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- AIQUM
Issue
- Running Active dedupe (SIS) jobs during peak production times can increase workload latency
- Available IOPS in AIQUM will show to be 0 during that time as below
- Disk latency or utilization may suddenly increase
- Too many dedupe processes running concurrently, as indicated with:
::> volume efficiency show -op-status active
Note: High CPU due to deduplication without latency is expected and this article is not applicable
