- Perfstat may only be gathered in the following circumstances:
-
Performance Archives are primary data collection and perfstat is only at request of NetApp Support
-
Perfstat is a real-time collection tool and needs to be run during an impact
-
Perfstat 8 is for ONTAP 9 only, all Data ONTAP 7-Mode systems should use Perfstat 7
-
- Please follow these best practices:
-
Run perfstat from a physical host or a VM not associated with the cluster being collected against.
-
Do not attempt to use over a VPN connection, perfstat is latency sensitive and will timeout.
-
Collection host should be on the same network as the cluster, avoid a lot of network hops or latency between host and cluster.
- The perfstat application and related output files should only be stored on the local disk of the collection host.
