Hi all,
We are experiencing performance problems in our environment and it points to partial writes. We are seeing back-to-back CPs that is causing a spike in latency across all volumes on a filer to above 500ms.
We have contacted NetApp support and they have said yes it is partial writes and it is probably caused by ESX. The filer is almost dedicated to ESX so it has to be ESX, we know all our VMs are unaligned but short of aligning 1000’s of VMs we want to target a few that are causing the most havoc.
How can we narrow it down to a VM level accurately, which ones are causing us the most pain?
Cheers.
