Please provide an explanation of one of the counters display by performance advisor that is not covered in the counters explanation in the help screen.
On the volume latency view, SAN Latency by Optype graph there are four counters displayed:
san-read latency
san write latency
san other latency
san latency
In our case san latency is sometimes very high, i.e 100's of milliseconds while the read and write latency are generally around 10 ms.
What does san latency measure? It seems to me that measurements done by the filer are between the filer and the storage shelves. Please explain this metric.
Our NMC is at 2.2.1, DFM is 3.7.1
