Testing A700 throughput

[Mohamed-Roushdy]

Hello,

We have a brand new A700, and it's not in production yet. I'm trying to get test the throughput using "IOmeter" tool, the performance is poor than other arrays we have (FAS8080, and AFF8080), so, is there a specific tool from NETAPP tahat we could use to get an accurate result?

You did not provide any details of the config or how you are using IOmeter.

How is your aggr designed? NAS or SAN? If NAS, using FlexGroups? If not, why not?

ONTAP version? Network setup? Jumbo frames?

Any possible network errors?

Give us something to work with.
