Why does the writing workload persist on a single constituent
Applies to
- ONTAP
- Flexgroup
Answer
- When a file is created in a FlexGroup volume, that file is directed to the “best available” FlexVol member in the FlexGroup volume. “Best available” in this case means “most free space available,” “most free inodes available,” and the recent load on a FlexVol member. ONTAP makes these decisions without the need of administrator intervention.
- But if the type of write is append write, workload persists on a single constituent.
