Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NFS
  • CIFS

Issue

  • High latency and/or low throughput observed.
  • High latency mostly from Cluster Interconnect, which can be confirmed from CLI,  AIQ PAS or any other performance monitoring tools:

cluster1::> qos statistics volume latency show -instance vol1
Workload        ID      Latency  Network  Cluster   Data     Disk     QoS       NVRAM      Cloud
--------------- ------ -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ---------- ----------
vol1            1234   85.87ms    0ms    85.19ms  435.00us      0ms      0ms        0ms        0ms

  • FlexGroup might have a mixed behavior:
    • Constituent Volumes with direct access only has a low latency.
    • Constituents Volumes with indirect access has a much high latency from Cluster Interconnect.
  • Both CIFS and NFS would be impacted, this high latency is only observed when the Large IO size is equal to or greater than 256KB.
