ONTAP 9

Issue

  • Disk IO latency is appearing due to too many operations at the same time due to user workload.
  • Multiple volumes from a particular SVM/aggregate report high latency.

  • Using Active IQ Unified Manager or qos statistics volume latency show, latency is shown to be in the Disk or Aggregate Processing (Active IQ Unified Manager), and latency is actively impacted on the target volume.

Example:

cluster1::> qos statistics volume latency show -vserver svm1 -volume vol1
Workload            ID    Latency    Network    Cluster       Data     Disk    QoS Max    QoS Min      NVRAM

  • The qos command qos statistics workload resource disk show list User-Default as the top DISK workload.

Example:

cluster1::> qos statistics workload resource disk show -node nodeB
