Description

  • Network Processing (AIQUM) or Network (CLI) refers to ONTAP's processing associated with the network stack and protocol handling
  • These delay centers may also be referred to as "CPU N-Blade"
  • CPU N-blade delay is usually shown as follows:
    • Active IQ Unified Manager: latency shown in Network Processing
    • Command line qos statistics volume latency show: latency shown in the Network column

Example:

Cluster::> qos statistics volume latency show
Workload            ID    Latency    Network    Cluster       Data       Disk        QoS      NVRAM
