Write speed considerations when transitioning from GFC to FlexCache
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Global File Cache
- FlexCache
Issue
- After setting up FlexCache for the first time to evaluate its performance compared to GFC; FlexCache based writes are slower compared to GFC.
- With write-back enabled, writes on smaller files takes longer than writes with GFC.
- No extreme slowness, bottlenecks, timeouts, or errors being reported.
