Applies to
- ASA A90 systems
- NetApp ONTAP 9.18.1RC1
Issue
- IO stability test executed for ~50 hours across multiple volumes
- IO throughput remains generally stable but periodically forms a 3‑hour saw‑tooth pattern
- ONTAP cluster and storage node health appear normal
- No associated error messages or performance alerts observed on the system side
